Fab Flash: Roberto Cavalli at H&M

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 07:34:01 -0700

Roberto Cavalli is the newest addition to the league of designers who debut collections for H&M around the winter holiday season, a league which includes Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, and Viktor & Rolf.

Cavalli's H&M collection, which features 20 menswear pieces and 25 womenswear pieces, including lingerie and matching accessories, promises to be full of his signature vivid prints and striking colors, all for a fraction of their normal price. The collection debuts in 200 H&M stores worldwide on November 8. I wouldn't surprised if one of you sees Beyonce, Posh, or J. Lo shopping right there with you come November 8 - they're all huge Cavalli fans!

Roberto Cavalli, Made-to-Measure Man

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 03:00:22 -0700

Just a day after saying he doesn't pay attention to costs, Robert Cavalli has announced he is starting a made-to-measure service in a special private space above the Rue Saint-Honoré store called Roberto Cavalli Saint-Honoré. Well-to-do clients can now order handmade wedding, cocktail, and evening dresses, starting at $41,950 for a cocktail dress. But Cavalli is not going into the couture business; this service is simply an extension of his current red carpet and special events offerings. Let's gaze at the fruits of labor . . . even if we can't afford them.

On Our Radar: Roberto Cavalli Gets His Own Credit Card

FabSugar — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 13:00:08 -0800

Is there anything Roberto Cavalli doesn't do these days? Besides putting his name on a cell phone, vodka, Coke bottles, and nightclubs, the designer has now designed a credit card. A MasterCard to be exact. The "Cavalli Card," available March 1, has iridescent colors similar to his yacht. It also has his iconic snakeskin print and his name in shiny gold. If you want to show off your credit card in style, visit www.robertocavallicard.com or a Roberto Cavalli boutique starting in March to get an application form. Oh, and look for a star-studded launch event during Milan Fashion Week in March.

Sneak Peek! Roberto Cavalli at H&M!

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 08:00:22 -0700

November 8 may be a ways away, but the first photos of Roberto Cavalli's collection for H&M are already making an appearance. These specific pieces are a bit more toned down than I was expecting from Mr. Cavalli - there's no zebra print to be seen yet - but there is the requisite leopard-bibbed shirt, and a giraffe jacket can be seen in the background.

There's also a great little black trench, and Cavalli accessorizes with cigar hanging out of his mouth: all the better to work with, I guess! These pictures will have to satiate my curiosity for now, but hopefully more will leak soon...

Roberto Cavalli at H&M Collection Revealed!

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 07:30:22 -0700

It's been a busy week for Roberto Cavalli! The Fab ad campaign for his collaboration with H&M appeared earlier this week, and now the lookbook for the entire collection has surfaced. As expected, leopard spots, zebra prints, and sequins are all over, and the color palette stays in the black, white, and gold range. The standout dress looks to be this gold flapper number, which Cavalli designed with Kylie Minoque in mind.

He is officially launching the collection at the H&M in Rome today, and will be in Manhattan for the US launch next Tuesday. The date I'm really looking forward to, however, is November 8, when we all have access to the collection in store!

Up next on Mr. Cavalli's plate? He's putting together the costumes that he designed for the Spice Girls reunion tour, set to kick off November 15 at the Victoria's Secret fashion show in LA.

FabSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 11:30:22 -0700

Yoox.com is using its established shopping power to bring some heavy hitters into the world of e-commerce.

And it's all there: women's and men's ready-to-wear, shoes, bags, eyewear and fragrances. There's free shipping and promotions for the next 10 days, so hop to. Both efforts are to establish a closer repertoire with costumers, and, obviously, sell, sell, sell.

Fab Ad: Just Cavalli Spring '09

FabSugar — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Is it me or does Kate Moss look extra beautiful in this campaign? The ad, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, captures the flawless Super wearing an array of the designer's tantalizing, Luxotica frocks and separates, looking undeniably glamorous. I love how the rich, tropical background complements Cavalli's lush animal prints and sensual palette. Her accessories are also amazing, and I can't forget to mention eye-candy models Kerry Degman and Justin Gaston. It's sensory overload, but in a good way.

Fab Ad: Roberto Cavalli at H&M

FabSugar — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 14:30:33 -0700

Roberto Cavalli is synonymous with nightlife: bold animal prints, party-ready dresses and gowns, and of course, lots of glamour. When it was announced that he is doing a holiday collection for H&M, I hoped to see all three. I'm happy to say it looks like I won't be disappointed; if these ads for the collection are any clue, there will be more than enough glitz and glamour to go around - at affordable prices, too!

I'm dizzied by stripes and spots, and what a Fab gold flapper dress! The ads, shot by Terry Richardson, really embody a fun, carefree life, and they make me want to hoof it down to H&M on November 8. What about you?

Fab Ad: Roberto Cavalli, Fall '09

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Roberto Cavalli's Fall ad campaign is a scene we're all too familiar with: paparazzi shots inside nightclubs. Models Isabeli Fontana (a Cavalli favorite; she was in this Fall '09 campaign, too) and Karen Elson reenact today's celeb craze inside the El Morocco nightclub in NYC. Photographer Steven Meisel, whose first time it was working with the designer, was there document the chaos. The guy in the back is clearly choosing to stay out of the altercation, but Isabeli takes matters into her own hands by splashing alcohol at the pesky photogs. And Karen looks like she's about to cause some damage as well. What do you make of all this?

Milan Fashion Week, Spring '09: Roberto Cavalli

FabSugar — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Cavalli's moody prairie Fall collection didn't float my boat, but his flavorful Spring collection sure does. I know designers feel the pressure to switch things up, but when your forte is mad prints and dramatic cuts, your fans tend to lean on you for such splendor. Cavalli delivered the goods, while showing some new angles.From frilly cocktail dresses to daring black gowns, Cavalli brings the heat. His tailoring skills also proved impressive, via rosebud print mini dresses made of structure and folds. Some pastel separates reminded me of Zac Posen's Spring collection - there's a comparison I've never made before. Ultimately, the daring gowns won me over. You couldn't get me out of this icy flouncy strapless number if you tried.
