On the Runway - Fashion - Style - New York Times Blog: "It’s Halloween, so I figured this was a good moment to share a few thoughts on Roberto Cavalli’s new collection for H&M.

It goes on sale Nov. 8, but after seeing a preview in the H&M showroom, I think the company missed an opportunity by not pushing the deliveries up in time for trick or treat.

Yes, like Stella McCartney and Karl Lagerfeld before him, Mr. Cavalli has boiled down his signature looks for the masses into what you could call the Cavalli DNA. Unfortunately, that would be leopard prints for women and pimp wear for men.

Seriously, do you want to own slinky black-on-black leopard print (though still sheer) boxer briefs, even if they’re designed by Roberto Cavalli?"
