180. January 2007… Jennifer Hudson… The Red Carpet…
January 2007… Jennifer Hudson’s stylist, Jessica Paster, contacts us. I’m particularly pleased because it was the belief of all that Jennifer that year would win an Oscar.
I leave for Los Angeles with the best guys on my team. We begin to create the dress on Jennifer’s body. She is extremely happy to receive so much attention, even more so when we showed her the dress… “WONDERFUL!”
The day before the Oscars André Leon Talley, Anna Wintour’s colleague, approached Jennifer and asked her to wear an Oscar de la Renta dress on the red carpet. She then would have the cover of the next month’s Vogue…
Jennifer could not refuse. A request by Vogue America could not be overlooked. She would be the first black actress on the cover of Vogue!
André Leon Talley interviewed her on the red carpet and, of course, the most important question was the name of the designer of her dress…
She had been required to wear a long brown dress with a small silver bolero jacket… she just wanted to run to change the dress before the ceremony…
She received an Oscar wearing the beautiful dress that we had created for her.
The clothes worn by the stars are judged, commented on and every magazine expresses its own judgment… the consensus was that the worst dress on the “red carpet” was the one worn by Jennifer Hudson!
I saw Jennifer cry, she wanted to start the fabulous evening with that dress that we made for her…!
Se wanted to tell… to scream… this was not the dress that she had chosen, but she preferred to remain silent…
I saw Jennifer Hudson at a wonderful dinner for the amfAR in New York. She was invited to my table with her handsome husband David Otunga. We remembered our adventure of few years earlier… with a smile!
Un bacio…
I LOVE YOU

180. Gennaio 2007… Jennifer Hudson… The Red Carpet…
Gennaio 2007, ci contatta Jessica Paster, la stylist di Jennifer Hudson. Sono particolarmente contento poiché era convinzione di tutti che Jennifer avrebbe vinto l’Oscar.
Parto per Los Angeles con I migliori ragazzi del mio team. Cominciamo a creare il vestito sul corpo di Jennifer, lei era estremamente soddisfatta di tanta attenzione, ancora di più quando gli abbiamo mostrato l’abito… ”MERAVIGLIOSO!”
Il giorno prima degli Oscar, Jennifer fu avvicinata da André Leon Talley, collega di Anna Wintour, che le propose di indossare sul red carpet un abito di Oscar de la Renta. Avrebbe avuto la copertina di Vogue del mese successivo…
Jennifer non poteva non accettare. Una richiesta da Vogue America non poteva essere trascurata, nessuna diva di colore aveva mai avuto la copertina di Vogue e lei sarebbe stata la prima!
Venne intervistata dallo stesso André Leon Talley all’inizio del red carpet, naturalmente, la domanda importante era sul nome del designer del suo vestito…
Era stata costretta ad indossare un abito lungo marrone con un piccola giacca bolero di colore argento… desiderava solo correre a cambiarsi prima della cerimonia.
Ricevette l’Oscar indossando il bellissimo abito che avevamo creato per lei.
Gli abiti indossati dalle star sono giudicati, commentati e ogni giornale esprime il proprio giudizio… il peggiore abito sul “red carpet” fu giudicato quello di Jennifer Hudson!
Ho visto Jennifer piangere, avrebbe voluto iniziare la favolosa serata con l’abito che avevamo creato per lei…!
Avrebbe voluto raccontare… urlare, che quello non era l’abito che lei aveva scelto, ma ha preferito tacere…
Ho rivisto Jennifer Hudson a una meravigliosa cena dell’amfAR a New York, era invitata al mio tavolo con il bellissimo marito David Otunga. Abbiamo ricordato la nostra avventura di qualche anno prima… sorridendo!
Un bacio…
I LOVE YOU

secondo me il vestito marrone non era cosi male come l’hanno giudicato, ma quello Cavalli era molto piú “da Oscar”:)))
Ma l’hai visto bene l’abito marrone?
Con le tasche e il bolerino……..?!

Mr. Cavalli thank you for sharing the stories often left behind the curtain. I used to think the celebrities choose their dresses themselves or with help of their stylist. Now I know they just have no choice at times. I work as a make-up artist in the international network of the famous beauty salons in Kiev. Today I had one of my favourite clients, very cute and friendly girl who will give a birth to a sweet kid in few months. We chatted about celebs, red carpet looks and I’ve told her about your Blog. She was curious to know some information you share with us on your Blog. Maybe you have a new fan now :)
Kisses and hugs
LOVE YOU
