Just two weeks after Chic heard that Roberto Cavalli would be off to Chechnya to visit the first fashion design studio in Grozny, we hear that this Friday the designer will be the guest of honor at the First Annual Fashionable Istanbul, the Turkish city’s weekend of fashion hosted by Bar Refaeli. On the itinerary? Events featuring upcoming Turkish designers, a Cavalli show at the Dolmabahce Palace, and a dinner party at the Reina Clubcon with dignitaries and VIPs from Turkey. “I’m very honored to have been selected and to be part of the first Fashionable Istanbul because I think this invitation is recognition of my personal positive, vibrant and winning vision of fashion,” said Cavalli in a statement. “My emotion is even bigger considering Istanbul is a seductive and mysterious city, a geographical bridge between my culture and the East.” Chechnya, Turkey…where to next, Bobby?
