Roberto, you missed the Party ...

... but at least he asked me to join the launch of the new Cavalli credit card in a quite surprisingly snake look. The question is, do we really need it? I am not sure about that, but at least everyone can make up his mind about it now.

Anyway, I was already snow boarding in the beautiful city of Davos in Switzerland during the weekend and so this though came around my mind. „Rezzo, it is just around the corner, so why not going to Milan for the fashion week?"

After some marvellous days in the snow with Kaiserwetter as the Germans would call it, and after lunch which Rosetta and Suzanna, (I think one of the girls was the former German TV presenter Birgit Schrowange), I packed my belongings and drove to Milan.

The weather was not Italian at all. Rain – but I did not care about it anymore as soon as I arrived at the Chiedi Hotel in the Italian fashion capital, accompanied by Laura Pausini`s Primavera. The hotel looks amazingly good. Design at is best. Perfect designed rooms and a pink greenish spa and wellness area. Almost already a bit of Cavalli ... You really wish not to leave this place anymore, at least if you know how the Jacuzzi works.

Totally relaxed I started to prepare myself for „lo Cavalli"

What to wear if you have to see the designer himself? Everything but no Cavalli! (thanks to Stefan). I decided to wear a FIRMA, outfit, having in mind that you have to be proud about your heritage. So why not wearing something from your people and present German design in the centre of the Italian fashion Mecca. My special accessory was my new Koffski holster, which got me almost in troubles later that night.

Ready to go – let us meet the "cara" Ina Seifart for dinner. Ina is a Berlin accessories designer living in Milan. By the way, I have to tell you, that I adore her golden cable strap bracelet ...

Milan is all about fashion, even the food. No wonder we decided to go to the Gold. But the „dolce" was closed. I have to ask Domenico, why the hell he closes the restaurant for the fashion week, I still don`t get it.  Hmmm. Armani wasn`t the place to be that night,. At the end we went to the most classic place in town: The Bulgari.

 

It still amazes me how easy it is to get a table in an obviously fully booked restaurant within 10 minutes. But it`s worth waiting. Look at these exceptional appetisers. And they were really delicious.

And not to forget the must have drink of the evening – the Bulgari, followed by one or two proper Bombay Tonic with mint.

Please let me also note, that I met this American fashion writer, I am sure you know her too, having kind of a nervous breakdown because she was wearing already the clothes of her sister for the last 3 days. Her luggage was still in Paris.  She looked really good. At least that is what I told her. You know, the crisis ...

 

Finally I went to Cavalli. The invitation was, ...  Hmmm. How to describe it without being mean. Let me say it was „porn", but in such a great divine way. The new credit card in XXL, Colourful as always if Roberto creates something.

Thanks to Nadima. We jumped the queue at the entrance and walked through the flashlight. The location was again very Cavalli and immediately I felt in love with this bit Madonna LED cube on which they played the Cavalli Clips with Mila.

There is one last thing to mention. The DJ was also so Italian, but it did not matter after some drinks. We celebrated the credit card and with every minute the party got better and wilder. My holster became the high light of the evening. Even some people thought it might be a bit to dangerous to wear a weapon. Funny Italians ...

 

The Milan fashion stays the same. As a man, you are still perfectly dressed with a GUCCI or GUCCI lookalike suit. Combined with a grey or black tie – the way to feel great and sexy. The ladies are more into new looks. It is amazing what a star still achieves. After Mila was wearing a dress from ANTONIAGOY. It was the must have item for the fashion conscious party crowd. Isn't great that German design is the lasted chic in Italy. Isn't it? Even the champagne was MUMM.

The launch of the Cavalli credit card was a great evening and I had a lot of fun. I would have loved to stay longer, but I had to leave. Paris was calling.

 

The only thing I missed the whole evening was Roberto.

He really missed the party ... but I was the party.

 

Take care see you soon in Paris – Rezzo
