I popped by the Roberto Cavalli menswear showroom at Piazza San Babila earlier this afternoon and I must say I *LOVE* this overcoat/cloak from their fall/winter 2011 collection. It's my favourite piece from the show. The cashmere used to make this garment is soo buttery soft.

Just Cavalli Spring Summer 2011

Here's the view from my seat at the Just Cavalli spring/summer 2010 fashion show held yesterday here in Milan.

Roberto Cavalli (who's celebrating 40 years in business this year) sent out his signature parade of animal print and embellished denim for Just Cavalli.

In addition to showing select pieces from his fall/winter 2010 collection, Italian designer Roberto Cavalli, who's celebrating his 40th anniversary, closed this year's Audi Fashion Festival with vintage pieces from his archive.

I had chills running down my spine when that oversized white feather number came out. Want. NEED. Gagging for it!

Roberto Cavalli and teh Interwebs

Roberto Cavalli and teh Interwebs

At the Roberto Cavalli press conference yesterday afternoon, many journalists asked elementary questions like "where do you get your inspiration?", "have you been to/how does India or Indonesia inspire you?" (asked by an Indian and an Indonesian journo)  or "where do you get inspiration for your prints?"

When it was my turn, I asked him this: how do you, as a designer, and how does "Roberto Cavalli" both as a brand and business, adapt in this digital & internet age that we live in? 

Here's his reply.

After I asked that question, the whole room went silent and his very handsome Communications Director Massimo (my god, he's soo hot) translated it in Italian. From Roberto's initial reaction, I somehow felt as if I've put him on a spot. I thought he was gonna snap and skip to the next question. But he played the game and played it well.

Colin McDowell then put me on the spot (see 1:20) by telling Roberto, "I have to say that you're talking to one of the world's most famous bloggers." Yikes. How I wished for the ground to open up and swallow me alive.

Got a Question for Roberto CavalIi?

Italian designer Roberto Cavalli, who is celebrating forty years in business this year, arrived in Singapore last night via private jet.

I've been invited to meet him at his suite in our hotel later this afternoon.

Do you have a question for King Roberto? Ask away! I'll pick the 3 best questions and I'll ask him myself when I meet him.

Roberto Cavalli Jewelry

Roberto Cavalli Jewelry 

One of the things I've learned over the years is that some of the best things to buy on sale are things that you can see yourself use over and over and over for years to come: jewelry, shoes or clothing "classics" (such as cashmere sweaters, shirts) etc.

I'm currently browsing the Vivre sale... and I'm loving these bits and baubles from Roberto Cavalli.

Roberto Cavalli cabochon octopus rings ($335 now $164) with turquoise or amethyst, enamel serpent bracelets ($350 now $98), bi-color enamel snake bracelets ($455 now $159) in blue, orange or yellow, crystal-studded jeweled snake bracelets ($435 now $121), bi-color enamel and crystal snake rings ($255 now $71), elephant head bracelet ($700 now $280).
