"In my planet, fashion, I'm the only straight man." Roberto Cavalli

Here I want to share a funny part between Roberto Cavalli and Colin McDowell who quizzed as part of his In Conversation series in Selfridges, Oxford Street.


RC: "In my planet, fashion, I'm the only straight man."


CM: "There's a few."


RC: "Who?"


CM: "Ralph Lauren, he's straight."


RC: "Are you sure?"


CM: "So, does being straight make you a better designer?"


RC: "Yes, maybe. Because I think of how I would like to have a woman close to me, in that moment. The femininity, the softness. Maybe, yes, anyway I'm happy as I am."


CM: "I think there must be a little bit of gayness in you, given the way you design for men."


RC: "I take that as a compliment. My first male fan was Lenny Kravitz, and I thought because of him, I have to design for men. In the evening every man looks the same. Like penguins. Women have a special dress for that event, men: the same tuxedo. I prefer to create for women. I think that women are more intelligent than men; that's why men have to be stronger. I really admire a woman for her intelligence, her personality, beauty is not enough."...
