The financial hard times might have struck the fashion houses of several prominent names like Christian Lacroix, but not for Roverto Cavalli. As a matter of fact, he is actually expanding his empire and has not stooped down to cutting selling prices as well. Well, kudos to the Cavalli loyals who have stood by him even through the crisis.

But we do have to give some credit to Cavalli himself too for his dedication to create something spectacular. The promotional strategies also play a part, though. The latest being ‘Roberto Cavalli Saint- Honoré’, which is really a made-to-measure service.

So if you have the moolah, buzz in for entirely handmade dresses in a special space situated above the Rue Saint-Honoré store. And they have kept a strict count that only 35 dresses will be made every year. The starting price for this service is $40 K, that too for a cocktail dress. Cavalli’s wife Eva has clarified that the effort is not a couture collection but just an extension of the house for extra-special red-carpet events.

The dogs can now be sure of making a strong fashion statement. Designer Roberto Cavalli has a real treat planned for pooch lovers who want to get nothing short of the very best for their best friends. Well, the man has extended his designing needle to create a whole range of pooch couture.

Well, we were always aware of Cavalli’s love for the animal kingdom thanks to the many jungle prints or canine tributes in his lines. And now, as an obvious step forward he has gone to design clothes for everyone’s favorite furry beast. Cavalli’s wife Eva was heard saying that her hubby just wanted to bring some color and style to canine fashion.

The collection in reference includes clothes for small and medium-sized dogs (large dogs will definitely feel left out). You can pick between satin-trimmed doggy bathrobes, printed silk shorts, shearling jackets, velour tracksuits and even stuff like quilted dog carriers, patent-leather collars and leashes. The starting price is $110 (for a tee) that goes on to $1,200 (for the quilted carrier).

News is that Roberto Cavalli will soon woo all the babies (and of course their mamas too) with their first and exclusive line of wheelchairs and strollers under their ‘Baby Safari Collection’. This is collaborative effort with Aprica that has given birth to some very fashionable baby cars. We hear that the prams are made in black, ice and dark brown together with the signature prints and the custom RC golden monogram.

The strollers are designed to accommodate the baby from birth up to four years and come equipped with “+ protection” that gives complete protection and support to the baby’s neck, ensuring that it is in the correct position.

The triple transparent sprayhood blocks UV rays and also protects the biological rhythm of sleep. Seat belts come padded and are raised to avoid and discomforts. The stroller also has a Thermo Ventilation System that regulates the temperature. Being lightweight, the baby car is easy for parents to handle too as there is a reversible handle and a strong brake too. A great combo of high technology with maximum comfort for your young’un.
