Ever wonder what backstage at Chanel looks like right before a major show? Well you’re in luck.

Roberto Cavalli

Roberto Cavalli
“All over the world people don’t treat me like a fashion designer, they treat me like a rock star… I can’t walk down 5th Avenue without being treated like a rock star.

It’s very strange.” – Roberto Cavilli to Wallpaper magazine when asked about something that was completely unrelated.

RUNWAY: Jil Sander Spring 2010
The fact that I somehow forgot to post Jil Sander’s Spring 2010 collection earlier is inexcusable, but look on the bright side, we’re that much closer to the gauze and linen goodness in store this spring! Overall, the line is relatively natural, encompassing earthy tones of beige and other basics. Sander played with cut outs and burn outs, mixing a fair amount of skin within a primarily tailored and androgynous collection. Loving the tattered, naturally worn out look of the gauze layers as well as the belting of oversized blazers!
