I don't get it - why do big name people put their names to a clothing line at a highstreet store. (Kate Moss: Top Shop, Madonna: wherever etc) Especially when, in this case, going by the ad, the dress is nowhere near as beautiful as the dresses that are undeniably those of the big-name designer.
The photo on the front page picture is abominable too - with the David Beckham looklalike peering out of a red sports car. He doesn't appear to be conscious in any way of the girl that has stepped out, or the dress she's wearing. To say nothing of the eyeshadow, gold bling on her finger and knecklace of strategic length.
I first became aware of Roberto Cavalli (not being a big fashion-head) when Victoria Beckham modelled his dress on the catwalk and he designed others for her, here's three of my favourites that really stood out.
Oh to have to opportunity/money/occasion to wear the vase dress! The yellow dress is the one Cavalli designed for the Beckham's pre-World Cup party. It featured in a documentary about the event (it's was hard to track down a picture of it on the web), if I remember correctly it had to be sewn onto her. Beautiful. And such a striking, luminous colour.
I could keep going about signature architects like Calatrava producing bridges for cities in the same kind of mass production sense as the H&M Cavalli venture, but I'll leave architecture out of this post.
