The 72-year-old was in high spirits and in an interview with Mail Today admitted, "I love myself, I love life and I love my work and that's the key to my success, energy and enthusiasm". The designer with an appetite for life also confessed that his idea of a good time is "to spend time with close friends and family over a few glasses of wine at dinners and intimate social gatherings.
On being asked what a typical day in the life of Robert Cavalli is, the designer replied, "I travel a lot, I think a lot, I watch a lot. Everywhere there can be something that gives you inspiration and motivation to create more, that is how I spend my day." His hometown Florence had a major influence on who he is today besides having creative genius in his blood.
"My grandfather Giuseppe Rossi was an artist. Though he died when I was quite young, it is in my DNA or it was just my calling, my own mind," said the designer who feels people should be, "open to new ideas." He further said, "I am not conservative and I believe people should not be too fanatical."

When it comes to his own clothes, the fashion biggie admitted, "I am usually dressed the same way." Designer Manav Gangwani, who has collaborated with Cavalli, was also present on the occasion.
Though next on his agenda is Dubai, Cavalli also plans to open a store in Mumbai next year. Neha Dhupia and Zayed Khan added a dose of Bollywood glamour to the event, but with Roberto Cavalli present, it wasn't really necessary.
