H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB Press Release:

This year's top designer collaboration at H&M is all about glamour and showing off the best of yourself, day and night.

From 8th November, a collection featuring some of Cavalli's favourite pieces for women and men will be available in approximately 200 selected H&M stores worldwide.

The collection is a complete Roberto Cavalli wardrobe for day and night with underwear and accessories to match.

For women, animal prints and lurex are important whilst for men, it's more discreet black, midnight blue, brown and white.

Accessories range from jewellery to belts and shoes. 'Fashion is an expression of freedom. This collaboration with H&M allows me to give a gift to the young audience that loves what I do, and identifies with my creativity, but might not be able to own a Roberto Cavalli piece.

The collection I have designed for H&M contains all the elements of my signature Cavalli style, and is infused with glamour and joy', explains Roberto Cavalli.
