Roberto Cavalli feels positive about recession

Roberto Cavalli doesn’t feel the current recession has affected him. He even says it encouraged us all “love each other” to be able to get through hard times.

He said:

I never pay attention to costs – it’s not attractive to speak about numbers. Why can’t we just focus on the beauty of an object?

I don’t know anything about the financial crisis. We’ll make a recovery by everyone loving their life, each other, and being positive.”

Roberto has started his own new made-to-measure service that will produce only 35 pieces a year. The service is based in an atelier above the Rue Saint-Honore store in Paris and is intended for making bespoke cocktail dresses, wedding gowns and eveningwear. It isn’t cheap though. The prices begin from at 35,000 Euro.

Roberto’s wife Eva said:

Clients who want a special outfit from Cavalli now will know that they can obtain it.”

The respected designer told he doesn’t mind his friend Victoria Beckham working for rival fashion house Armani because they can pay her more than he.

Victoria Beckham is lovely. I’m not bothered that she works with Georgio Armani – the difference is that she’s a friend to me, not a model. But I don’t blame her – Armani pays a lot of money.”
