The much anticipated Roberto Cavalli SS18 collection was contemporary and feminine without an extreme print clash in sight.
When you think Cavalli it’s animal print, flesh-baring pieces along with flamboyant fabrics that come to mind, but that was under adventurous direction of Peter Dundas. With Paul Surridge at the helm and his background in menswear, taking on womenswear for the first time meant leading the house towards a modern vision of what a Cavalli woman is today.
The key was not to objectifying but breathing fresh air into what sensuality and physical power is. Yes, there was zebra print but it was reworked across clean silhouettes and sharp cuts, while the beaded evening pieces felt functional and wearable.
It wasn’t so much a departure from the Roberto Cavalli’s flair but a step towards really understanding the needs of a modern woman and make it cooler for many rather than just one. We anticipate a bright future ahead look forward to seeing more.
