Krizia Robustella presented her Spring/Summer 2014 collection during 080 Barcelona Fashion. Entitled “Bananas is my Business” is inspired by the eccentric and colorful Carmen Miranda.
“I wonder why does everybody look at me and then begin to talk about a Christmas tree? I hope that means that everyone is glad to see the lady in the tutti-frutti hat. The gentlemen, they want to make me say, “Si, si,” But I don’t tell them that, I tell them, “Yes, sir-ee!” and maybe that is why they come for dates to me, the lady in the tutti-frutti hat. Some people say I dress too gay, but every day, I feel so gay; and when I’m gay, I dress that way, is something wrong with that? Americanos tell me that my hat is high, because I will not take it off to kiss a guy; but if I ever start to take it off, ay, ay! I do that once for Johnny Smith and he is very happy with the lady in the tutti-frutti hat!”
