Black is never Absolute' or when Cavalli plays God

Also known as the men who creates animal-woman, Cavalli remains a figure of Italian scene and especially with his famous prints -leopardskin, zebra, hindu godess,...- with which he created several chocks and scandals all around the fashion world.



To celebrate his 70th birthday and his 40 years in fashion, Roberto Cavalli is exposing a collection of his pictures at the Palazzo Morando in Milan.

Not the most original idea but certainly a MUST to see; the exhibition is untitled 'Black is never absolute' as a reference to the rainbow of colours Oldy-Goody Roberto is using in each of his collection but also because he does believe his designs make life 'less boring'.

Full of his Italian modesty - as always-,Cavalli declared to the press that 'the greatest designer is god' and that he loves to inspire himself from him.

By the way, even Cavalli has been a good designer in his golden years...common 70 years old Roberto, botox wont save you!

Golden boys, stock exchanges & checkmate

You would never believe I would talk finance, stock shares & takeover bids; would you?

But when it's about fashion, there is no subject to be avoided and especially not when the protagonists are the timeless Maison Hermes & the giant LVMH (Louis Vuitton, Dior, Moet & Chandon,...).

Last saturday, Mr Arnault announced that LVMH bought 17% of Hermes stock shares; insisting that he does not pretend to a hostile takeover but that he simply wanted to become a "friendly" long-term shareholder.

BIG SHOCK inside HERMES House where they never believed the danger to be that close.



Nowadays Hermes, Chanel & PPR Group (Gucci Group) are the biggest competitors of the LVMH Holding on the luxury market. Having the opportunity to takeover Hermes will be A MUST for Bernard Armault and an extra "jewel" for his group.

Yesterday, HERMES Familly met officially the CEO of LVMH to claim their displeasure to see the group taking over their "familly company". Bernard Arnault was asked to stop his attack on their stocks. But will they follow Hermes warning?

Benard, tell us what's on your mind?
