Nicki Minaj embodies the exuberant and modern femininity of the Cavalli woman. In recent years we have become accustomed to women castigated in clothes that hide their body shapes. With this campaign, I wanted to send a strong countertrend message. I wanted a sensual woman who is aware of her body — who is not afraid to show her curves, rather she make them as a strength.Roberto Cavalli used these words to present the new star of his Spring/Summer campaign: Nicki Minaj.

The young American rapper, undisputed queen of world music charts, has been captured in these strong visual shots, to be watched over and over. The lens almost capture the heat of the sun with the powerful colors of Roberto Cavalli: fire orange, blue, saffron yellow and green inebriate the mind and mirror the summer. The tribal dance of Nicki Minaj captivates and charms. Thanks to her strong sensuality and Cavalli’s genius in design, it seems like a slight breeze goes through the dresses’ silhouette in silk georgette with animal and floral prints.Nicki Minajis known for her, shall we say, creative outfits, for her rebellious flare and nonconformist spirit, much like the designer’s own personality. It is no coincidence that one of her top hits is “Anaconda”, and the snake is one of the iconic symbols of Maison Cavalli.
