For its Fall/Winter 2021 collection Roberto Cavalli starts a new chapter that launches an empowering vision for the brand’s future.
Season Zero; the first collection by Creative Consultant Fausto Puglisi represents a new direction and new creative path, embracing the challenges the world is facing today.
Fausto Puglisi, Creative Consultant, says: “I want the Cavalli print to represent a statement: The United States of Cavalli. A universal flag connecting and wrapping together citizens of all cultures – empowered, free, fierce. A pervasive statement running throughout the collection, from garage kids’ cool denim to Hollywood- Couture frocks.”

The collection for men and women revisits classic Cavalli icons including the animalier print which is a key symbol throughout. It highlights the experimental and rebellious spirit of the label’s ‘70s beginnings and the red carpet glamour of the 2000s, reworking them in Puglisi’s vision.
Graphic animalier prints featuring, tigers, zebras and jaguars heads become bold and graphic, patchworked into iconic styles.
The feminine silhouettes of the famously seductive figure-hugging, high-impact Cavalli dresses are firm, sculpted, contoured and empowering.
Daywear options, combine boldness and eccentricity with the need for protection. Quilted blanket-capes of generous proportions alternate with smart trench coats; the suit is reimagined as a versatile three-pieces where an all-over printed animalier slim-fitted blazer is paired with a matching tight turtleneck and a full circle skirt.
Menswear is equally bold and sexy. Denim, a Cavalli signature from its hippy era, is treated with airbrushed textures in black and nude skin tones, conveying a cool, worn-out ‘garage kid’ vibe, in a fluid genderless offer suited to a diverse audience.
Black leather amps up the assertive message: Patched biker jackets are the ideal match for animalier- printed oversized boxy shirts, puffed capes, hoodies and sweats.
The colour palette is edited down to a neat selection of black, chocolate brown and nude, to emphasise a powerful, focused message.
