"I know that a lot of designers are doing minimalism these days," said Roberto Cavalli after his Spring 2011 show. "But I say, who needs minimalism when you could have great sex?"
Mr. Cavalli, you have just made me laugh aloud.
In all honesty, if you were to be given an option to look like a goth Twilight Eclipse vampire extra, or a bad-ass "Lady Boss", which one would you choose?
Quite frankly, Natalia Vodianova looks miserable in that picture, and considering that she was paid a reputed $67,000 to walk down the runway (in that outfit), what exactly does that say about Cavalli "sex"?
I have always been "minimal" - I have one rolling rack's worth of winter-spring-summer-fall clothing, and am a compulsive editor. Reduce-Reuse-Recycle was my mantra before it became a trendy green mantra. And as of late, some nostalgia for nineties minimalism, and a quest for a more pared-down existence has had appeal. So, I guess one could safely assume that if I had a spare $10+ grand and a fancy invitation, Roberto Cavalli on Madison would not be the first (or last) place I would hail a cab to. But, maybe after a few drinks and some broken mirrors...
