Roberto Cavalli caught a lot of flack for posting a sketch of Beyoncé in this dress on Facebook, sans her killer curves. She was a stick-like figure with exaggerated long legs. In this defense his PR team writes:
Dear Fans,
We would like to clarify that the image of the gown created by Roberto Cavalli for Beyoncé is a sketch and not a photo, and therefore it is only meant to be a stylized and artistic vision.
Roberto Cavalli loves women and more than anyone else has always exalted and highlighted the female shape with his creations, building his signature style on the glorification of sensuality and femininity.
