Nice collection! I`m digging the pinstripes and love the tight & chic pants, the classic coats and the petrol colour. The long leather gloves are also working for me in menswear (only for thin & fashionable men though).
. How do you like the collection? Which looks would you wear, Gentlemen?

Roberto Cavalli's 'Just Me' Autobiography Is Published

Book cover   Roberto Cavalli's autobiography entitled 'Just Me', published by Mondadori, was officially presented on September 16th with the participation of the Mayor of Florence Matteo Renzi.    The book is the story of the man not the designer, who lived the Twentieth Century intertwining the thread which bonds the wounds of the War to the glories of the Made in Italy in a simple and amazing narration. A narration where sweat, success, defeat, intuition, the setbacks and the endeavors are written without censorship or stereotypes as the adventure of one of the most important icons of contemporary fashion.   Roberto Cavalli at the 'Just Me' presentation    A FATHER’S MYTH  "Do not be afraid": the autobiography of Roberto Cavalli begins with the tenderness and drama of a war scene. These are the last words pronounced by his father Giorgio, captured and taken away from his family and executed in front of his wife by the German Army on July 4th 1944 in the small town of Cavriglia. Roberto was only three years old and this memory will be present in his mind as a warning as well as a regret. The first is a firm imperative to always take risks, to be different and to be a pioneer even when nobody understands your intuitions or your aesthetic. The second is instead a sort of nostalgia which will accompany him during his life: the desire to attribute a face to his father through a life filled with action and challenges, almost as a moral obligation.    Eva and Roberto Cavalli    ROBERTO’S WOMEN  "When people think about me and about the women in my life” states Roberto Cavalli “ the majority of people have a stereotype: they envision me surrounded by a group of models with a bottle of champagne”. Nothing could be farther from the stories told in JUST ME. Most of the book is in fact dedicated to the women who represent a fundamental role in Roberto’s life. Beginning from his mother, a constant presence and the symbol of an incredible generation who was able to transform war and adversity in a new country with an array of opportunities. Then Lietta, the sister who will help him build a memory of his father. And finally his two wives: the first, Silvanella who will give him two children, Cristiana and Tommaso; and Eva, his lifetime partner who will give him Rachele, Daniele and Robert. They are his core, the soul of the woman he imagined and who will later become the spirit of his creativity.    Franca Sozzani and Afef at the book presentation    I AM NOT DESIGNER, I AM A TRANSFORMER OF TEXTILES  "Do not call me a designer, because I have never been able to sketch a silhouette” says Roberto. “My talent has always been to make fabrics and women special, viewing fashion as a ready-to-wear prêt-à-portér dream “. Consequently JUST ME is not a list of models, successes, fashion shows and collaborations with Hollywood stars. It is rather the epic story of Ulysses lost in the Made in Italy ocean, searching for excellence, people and journeys who will make his dream possible. The dream of giving women a gown “which will change their life, because that is what the most beautiful gowns do: they can change a woman's life”.
