imageLagerfeld in Phat Pharm? Cavalli dressing like Rhett Butler? That's the September issue of Harper's Bazaar. The mag wrangled together top designers to dress them up in fantasy outfits. "Michael Kors, Karl Lagerfeld, Donna Karan, Donatella Versace, Alessandra Facchinetti, Giorgio Armani, Alber Elbaz, Rodarte's Laura and Kate Mulleavy and Roberto Cavalli were all asked to get into character as something other than a designer. Armani played the role of Fred Astaire, Kors took on James Stewart's L.B. Jeffries character from Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, Elbaz reinvented himself as a Hollywood producer with James Bond flair and Cavalli went Gone with the Wind as Rhett Butler; he was shot embracing Coca Rocha as Scarlett O'Hara." Lagerfeld dressed up as a rapper, striking a pose with Phat Farm jeans and untied shoelaces. "Believe it or not, I love rap," he told Bazaar. If only he'd consented to wear his tribute T-shirt.

The designer, who's known for his loud patterns, designed three bottles, each with a different animal print. Cavalli remarked that there was no difference between designing for emaciated models and curvy glass bottles ... he'll always create something "seductive and feminine, in typical Cavalli style."

What can a lucky lush expect at Cavalli's first club? Well, first off, a cool interior design, including black quartz floors, walls dripping with Swarovski crystal, entrance hall featuring Cavalli jewelry, atolls in gold-colored glass and fur, sushi bar and wine bar, Italian restaurant, and Cavalli-signed chocolates. And don't forget the bottomless bottles of Roberto Cavalli Vodka.

BlackBook vs. Robert Cavalli @ Taco Tuesday For centuries, BlackBook has been locked in a deadly feud with the marauders at Roberto Cavalli. They’ve set our villages ablaze, stolen our children, and refused to let us keep any of their samples. It ends tonight. At Rewind on the Lower East Side, six of our brave soldiers will confront the dark Cavalli minions in a winner-take-all bartending, taco-constructing battle. Our proceeds go to the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation. I’m scared, and you should be too. After the jump, have a look at our last hope.
