The fashion set braved a cold snap last night to celebrate a new-and-improved Just Cavalli boutique on West Broadway in Soho. 
The brand’s flagship on Fifth Avenue quietly closed its doors a few years ago, but it was for the best, Mr. Cavalli explained to I’m afraid America needed a little more time to appreciate my line. In my store in Milano—oh my God!—they go crazy.”
