Cavalli for H&M!

cavalli hm.jpg
Italian designer Roberto Cavalli will be the next designer for H&M!

Cavalli follows Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, and Viktor & Rolf - oh yes, Madonna too - in the H&M diffusion club. British Vogue reveals his designs are expected to hit stores this winter, right between Temperly for Target and Erin Fetherston for Target.

While Cavalli’s recent cowboy kick might translate well into a mass market line, it’s tough to see his signature dresses, which are skin-tight and often stuffed with feathers, becoming something cheaper.

It’s also fun to wonder who will model this collection - Kate Moss was supposed to do Stella’s H&M line, but then the cocaine happened and H&M vetoed her.

Raquelle Zimmerman helped out Viktor & Rolf by wearing their giant wedding dress in the print campaign. And now Kate Moss is the face of Cavalli… but it seems unlikely she’d front an H&M collection, especially since her designs for TopShop will continue hitting stores through next year.

Maybe Heidi Klum, whose family vacations with Cavalli’s, will strike a pose?

I wonder if he will do one of his ostrich feather dresses.

"Bitten"? It seems at least one style has been 'bitten' from another designer, literally:
Compare this SJP Bitten "Foldover Bag," posted on Cathy Horyn's NYT blog in her interview with SJP:
