Roberto Cavalli’s favourite job was creating tour costumes for Michael Jackson.
The Italian fashion designer relished the challenge of updating the late King of Pop’s image for his stage shows and joked he was furious when the star threw his hand-crafted jacket into the crowd.
He told Vogue magazine: ”He came to me and said, ‘Roberto, I need you to give me a new look. I’m tired of the moccasins, I’m tired of the white socks.’ So I created a fantastic jacket for him, it took months to make.
”I remember when he got on stage, there were thousands of people in the audience yelling, ‘It’s too hot for the jacket.’ So he threw it into the crowds! I couldn’t believe it. I said to myself, ‘I am never making him a jacket again.’ ”
