Italian designer Roberto Cavalli talks a mean game, but it appears his bark is much bigger than his actual bite.

WWD reports Cavalli will not be selling his namesake fashion label as was expected this year. This announcement comes after the designer informed the Italian financial daily Il Sole 24 Ore that the economy wasn't too kind to his label this year, "I'm not selling the company. The timing is not ripe yet for such a step. What's more, as I have already said a thousand times, we don't need [to sell]."


We feel for you Cavalli. We really do. Now, does this mean you'll be making more collections with H&M in the near future?
