Nicki Minaj shoots for the Roberto Cavalli spring 15 campaign. Shot in Los Angeles by photographer Francesco Carrozzini, the campaign’s strong, impactful pictures show the American rapper in dynamic, sensual poses on a shaded, rainbow-colored background.

“I chose Nicki Minaj because she embodies the exuberant and modern femininity of the Cavalli woman,” said Roberto Cavalli . “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 turns them into her strength.” (wwd.com)
