Nicki Minaj goes 60’s glam for Roberto Cavalli‘s spring/summer 2015 campaign. Cavalli himself dished on why he wanted the rap vixen to be the new face of his campaign.

“I chose Nicki Minaj because she embodies the exuberant and modern femininity of the Cavalli woman,”

 “In recent years we have become accustomed to women castigated in clothes that hide their body shapes. With this campaign, I wanted to send a strong countertrend message. I wanted a sensual woman who is aware of her body, who is not afraid to show her curves, rather she make them as a strength.”

Nicki added, “I am so honored to be the face of the new #RobertoCavalliSS15 campaign.”
