Roberto Cavalli kicked off Paris Fashion Week with a spectacular 40th birthday bash for his namesake fashion house. The star-studded event and runway show cost a rumored two million bucks. Heidi Klum, Naomi Campbell, Janet Jackson, and Taylor Swift toasted the decadent designer who firmly believes more is more and after all, 40 years is a lifetime in this biz. While sipping Cavalli vodka, the crowd watched the spring 2011 fashion show with current supermodel Natalia Vodianova leading the pack of genetically blessed out of the gate. Vodianova's runway rate ranges from $67,000 to $94,000 and Cavalli reportedly paid her quote for a trip down the catwalk and her attendance at the bash. Reminds me of when the supermodel of the 1980s Linda Evangelista famously quipped about supes of the day, "We don't get out of bed for less than $10,000." Oh, how times have changed.
