155. Maldives… Just Relax!

Roberto Cavalli - Maldive155. Maldives … Just Relax!

Hundreds, perhaps thousands of atolls in a sea of incredible colors!

Malé is the capital. It is the only city in this great archipelago populated by a multitude of islands.

We chose the island where the Four Seasons Hotel is located. This is a beautiful structure with five restaurants and one hundred and twenty bungalows on the beach.

Arriving at the island is fun. A red and white seaplane is the taxi for the hotel guests. I had never landed on the water before.  It was a fun new experience!

Roberto Cavalli - MaldivesThere are many ways to spend the day… the most special is snorkeling and spending some time in different parts of the island spying on the tropical fish…

The Maldives is protected by one of the most beautiful coral reefs, and so it is wonderful to dive and admire the thousands of different species of fish… brilliantly colorful!

Roberto Cavalli - MaldivesBecause of my two broken ribs I have had to take refuge in the Maldives, leaving my programmed adventures in the north of Australia behind me. I therefore had to leave behind many sporting activities such as windsurfing and Jet Skiing…

I spend my days lying in the sun, and in the water with a mask, fins and a small waterproof camera… a lot of enjoyable diving!

The seabed makes me dream.  We dive into a world we know but that is not ours.  It is a world we enter gently, as if asking the permission of its colorful inhabitants!

The past three days have flown by. The thought of my next collections has not let me fully relax my mind!

The red and white seaplane is taking me back to Malé.  In two hours I will be on the plane flying towards Italy. This evening I will hug Lupo.  

Tomorrow I shall transfer all the colors I have in my eyes to my fabrics…

I LOVE YOU
Roberto Cavalli
Roberto Cavalli - MaldivesRoberto Cavalli - Maldive155. Maldive… Solo Relax!

Centinaia, forse migliaia di atolli in un mare dal colore incredibile!  

Malé è la capitale.  È l’unica città di questo grande arcipelago popolato di isole.

Abbiamo scelto l’isola dove sorge il Four Seasons Hotel. Una bellissima struttura con cinque ristoranti e centoventi bungalow sulla spiaggia.

È divertente arrivare all’isola.  Un idrovolante rosso e bianco fa il servizio di taxi per gli ospiti dell’hotel. Non ero mai atterrato sull’acqua. È stata una nuova simpatica esperienza!

Roberto Cavalli - MaldivesTante possibilità per trascorrere la giornata… la più speciale e divertente è lo snorkelling e trascorrere qualche ora nei vari punti dell’isola a spiare la vita dei pesci tropicali…

Le Maldive sono protette da una delle più belle barriere coralline, ed è quindi meraviglioso immergersi e ammirare le migliaia di diverse specie di pesci… coloratissimi!

Roberto Cavalli - MaldivesPurtroppo a causa della frattura di due costole, mi sono rifugiato alle Maldive, abbandonando il mio programma di avventure nella parte nord dell’Australia.  Ho dovuto quindi trascurare tante attività allettanti come windsurf e jet ski…

Ho trascorso le mie giornate sdraiato al sole, nell’acqua con maschera, pinne e armato di una piccola macchina fotografica waterproof, molto divertente nelle immersioni!

Il fondo marino mi fa sognare, sembra di immergersi in un mondo che conosciamo ma che non ci appartiene. Ci si entra con delicatezza, quasi chiedendo il permesso ai suoi colorati abitanti!

Questi tre giorni sono volati. Il pensiero delle mie prossime collezioni non mi ha permesso di rilassare completamente la mia mente!

L’idrovolante bianco e rosso mi sta riportando a Malè.  Fra due ore sarò in volo per l’Italia.  Questa sera potrò finalmente riabbracciare Lupo.

Domani dovrò trasferire tutti i colori che ho nei miei occhi nei miei tessuti…

I LOVE YOU

    pesci con i quali, se potesse, ci farebbe delle pellicce. i suoi post sono uno schiaffo alla miseria e, cosa ben piu grave, i suoi vestiti sono un INSULTO ai poveri animali che lei fa uccidere. vergogna
