Last night The Sunday Times hosted an evening with Roberto Cavalli at London College of Fashion as Colin McDowell held a conversation with the designer about his history and his designs. In between offers of a stay in Florence, a copy of his painted portrait and small gifts Roberto Cavalli treated a small audience to an evening of fun showing how one man can achieve so much through sheer passion.
Colin McDowell began the interview asking Cavalli about how he broke in to the world of fashion and despite being concerned that his English wasn't going to be good enough, he talked about the beginning of his career in Florence and life as an artist. He started off making printed t-shirts and claimed, "You don't need money, you just need to believe in yourself." And indeed Cavalli is living proof that this is true.

"London has the best fashion in the world, but one problem, you don't know how to make it!" he laughed. read more
