212. The Color of Summer…212. Il Colore dell’Estate…

Roberto Cavalli212. The Color of Summer…

Punctual as always, summer is here…

When you are a child you can’t wait for the summer to arrive… it coincides with school holidays… hot long days that seem to never end… you spend the day with your friends discovering life without all those worries that are reserved for the adults…

I remember the first summer in Florence. Our family had just moved in to Maragliano Street that year and it was a very hot summer… I spent my days outdoors playing and running… and in the evening we enjoyed the magical show of the fireflies…

Fast forward… Saint Tropez, 1973, my first Boutique… it was an incredible summer, I met and fell in love with a sweet girl from Germany who… still one of my fondest memories…

And then the period of the Costa Smeralda, the mega parties … so many friends… Eva and I spent our time with our young family and in organizing the Cavalli Mega Party… it did not matter where you were on vacation, but you had to be in Sardinia by mid-august to be at the Mega Party!

Summer is color! Each season has its own colors, but the colors of summer are unique, strong, prime, sometimes gaudy, but always full of vitality, full of energy…

When I’m on my boat and around me I’m surrounded by light blue with shades of blue up to storm-dark blue, I say, “My God, I love these combinations of turquoise…”

July is a busy month for me, getting ready for the collections in September, months of work culminating in a collection that should enchant… surprise… make you dream …

It’s a race against time… Italy in August “Closed for Holidays” and in September there will be no time… everything has to be ready before closing the company for the summer break…

This year I have not yet made plans for the summer… definitely I will spend a few days on the bat-boat… a few days with my grandchildren… I have several invitations from friends in different parts of the world… who knows, maybe we’ll meet somewhere…

Write and tell me what your plans are this summer.

Un grosso bacio…

I LOVE YOU
Roberto Cavalli

Puntuale come ogni anno anche quest’anno è arrivata l’estate…

Quando sei bambino non vedi l’ora che arrivi l’estate che poi coincide con la fine dalle scuola… quelle calde giornate che si allungano e sembrano non finire mai… il gruppo di amici con cui si andava in avanscoperta, senza tutti quei pensieri che sono riservati agli adulti…

Mi ricordo la prima estate a Firenze, ci eravamo da poco trasferiti in Via Maragliano e quell’anno faceva un caldo terribile… passavo le mie giornate all’aperto a giocare e a correre… e la sera si ammirava lo spettacolo magico delle lucciole…

Fast forward… Saint Tropez, 1973, la mia prima Boutique… fu un’estate incredibile, un incontro e un amore dolcissimo con una ragazza tedesca che ancora oggi appartiene ai miei ricordi più belli…

E poi il periodo della costa Smeralda, le mega feste… tanti amici… con Eva si passava il tempo ad organizzare il Mega Party a casa Cavalli… non importava dove andavi in vacanza, ma a ferragosto dovevi essere in Sardegna al Mega Party!

L’estate è colore! Ogni stagione ha i suoi colori, ma i colori dell’estate sono unici, forti, a volte sfacciati, ma sempre pieni di vitalità, pieni di energia…

Quando sono sulla mia barca e intorno a me sono circondato dal blu chiaro con tonalità che arrivano fino al blu scuro, e dico: “Dio mio, amo questa combinazione di turchese…”

Luglio è un mese intenso per me, fervono i preparativi per le collezioni di Settembre, mesi di lavoro che culminano in una collezione che deve incantare… stupire… far sognare…

È una corsa contro il tempo… l’Italia in Agosto “chiude per ferie” e a Settembre non ci sarà tempo… tutto deve essere pronto prima di chiudere la ditta per la pausa estiva…

Quest’anno non ho ancora fatto progetti… passerò sicuramente alcuni giorni sul bat-gommone… qualche giorno con i miei nipotini… ho diversi inviti da amici in diverse parti del mondo… chissà forse ci incontreremo in vacanza…

Quali sarà la vostra destinazione quest’estate?

Un grosso bacio…

I LOVE YOU
Roberto Cavalli
