Direct line not insuring those in fashion?

After days of searching for car insurance at the best price, I decided on direct line. To My astonishment when agreeing to terms of policy Direct line will not insure you if you work in fashion! I have had my license for 23 years have no points claims etc, yet I cannot get insured by them. If anybody knows the reason for this I would like to know why.

Thank you

    Fashion, Professional Sportsmen, Journalists, Musicians --- All have a torrid time getting insurance.
    Perhaps they think you might be giving Naomi Campbell lifts, or could accidentally reverse into Kate Moss?

    Your business or the business of your employer is not in anyway connected with any of the following: the entertainment and fashion industry, professional sports, foreign service, foreign diplomatic personnel, mini-cab drivers or mini-cab controllers.

    Bummers should be able to get insurance, as long as they're not connected with the following; entertainment and fashion industry, professional sports, foreign service, foreign diplomatic personnel, mini-cab drivers or mini-cab controllers
