cavalli club ownerThe cavalli Club will open this November within the Fairmont Hotel in Dubai. On the ground floor, the entrance hall will lead to a large room showcasing jewellery, watches and the most exclusive accessories from the Cavalli Maison.

This, together with a selection of refined food products chosen specially by Roberto Cavalli to express the best of “Made in Italy”, offers the public a complete Roberto Cavalli lifestyle experience and a new way of shopping at a non-conventional time of day.

On the top floor, guests will have several options and can choose from different gastronomically and sensorial experiences.

A refined and elegant Italian restaurant will be at the centre of the hall, offering unforgettable Italian culinary feats. For those opting for Japanese cuisine, the sushi bar will offer a relaxed atmosphere for dining where guests can recline on sofas in front of low tables. The bar will stock a high quality selection of beverages including the prestigious Cavalli Selection red wine with the uniquely-designed bottles.

Guests will also be able to sample Cavalli-signed chocolates, have a coffee or sip cognac within the lounge area.

Parallel to the restaurant is a lounge bar that offers a chic and trendy environment for those wanting to try some exotic light food such as caviar. In this area, music will play until the early hours of the morning and guests can dance to hypnotic rhythms mixed by the best international DJs around. A suspended platform will host the DJ and the dancers, as well as other entertainment and shows.

With attention to detail, and every element thought out and executed perfectly to create a unique and unforgettable experience, the Cavalli Club will be the ideal place for relaxation and enjoyment. It has an innovative schedule, allowing guests to take in the experience of the club from day to night — serving light lunch, lunch, aperitif, pre-dinner, dinner and disco set.

Cavalli took time out from his busy schedule to talk exclusively to City Times about his new venture.

As one of the most influential designers in the world, how does it feel to be associated with the nightlife scene in Dubai? Dubai is a futuristic town.

Every time I go there I always feel a great energy and it seems to me an open window to the future. The nightlife in Dubai is very sophisticated and selected so I felt it was perfect to open the first ever ‘Cavalli Club’ in Dubai.

What can clubbers and the fashion set expect from the venture? They will discover a club completely different from any other one they have been visiting before. First of all, it is not only a club but the union of different occasions of entertainment in one place. Inside Cavalli Club people will be able to do shopping, have lunch, have an Italian or Japanese dinner, taste oysters and caviar, dance to the rhythm of international DJs, all day long. The venue will be extremely glamorous with the strong presence of Cavalli iconic fashion style elements.

Is the club shaping up to the image you had in mind in terms of styling? Of course, every single piece of furniture and decoration detail has been created especially for the Club and I have been overseeing all the project to be sure it respects exactly my style.

Has hospitality always been a passion of yours? It is a quite new passion for me and I am sure I am going to proceed in this business in the future.

Shopping at a non conventional hour is inspired. Why do you think the concept hasn’t been attempted anywhere else? I do not really know why, but I know that Cavalli often gets there before others with the new things! I love to do experimentations in fashion and I decided to apply this also in nightlife.

As an authority on style what do you think of Dubai’s fashions and tastes and why did you choose to open here first? Women from Dubai love fashion and they are always looking for the best ever: top quality, great design, rich details… To create for them is really inspiring because you have always to challenge the new and to move forward with elegance.

When you started in the design world could you have ever foreseen you would have clubs named after you? When I started in fashion I could never imagine that I could have reached the success I have now. So the clubs with my name were totally out of my imagination.

Will you be residing in Dubai and visiting the club regularly? I will be there for the opening of course and I hope to have the possibility to visit it often during the year, to take all my celebrity friends there and to enjoy it as all Dubai customers will do.

Do you think many of your devoted celebrity fans will pop in from time to time? I hope all of them! You have many dedicated fans in the region, is there a particular person in the Middle-East you would enjoy designing for? I never reveal names because I never want to disappoint my customers and friends — mention ing somebody and not somebody else — but yes, there are many people in the Middle East who inspire me and for whom I create many special pieces.

What are your plans for the future? For the very near future I will sail with my boat on the Mediterranean Sea switching off all my mobiles and try to relax.
