Cavalli makes first trip to Japan
When it comes to animal prints, skins and other wild bona-fide "Italian" fashion, Roberto Cavalli is the master. On Nov. 1, Cavalli made his first visit to Japan to celebrate the opening of his new flagship boutique in Tokyo's Aoyama district. The shop, within a stone's throw of other luxury boutiques- such as Prada, Miu Miu and Dries Van Noten — is two stories high and covers 300 sq. meters of retail space.
This is the first-ever Cavalli shop in Asia, and it actually opened quietly in September, but the designer's presence this month brought out the major fashion players, big clients and celebrities. Supermodel Ai Tominaga, actresses Mika Fujiwara and Yu Yamada, and TV personalities Mika Kanno and Anna Umemiya were just some of the beautiful people out partying.
