Cavalli
Written by Sedef Kokcuoglu

Roberto Cavalli is indeed an eccentric man marching to the beat of his own drum. This season while other designers dressed their models like beautifully ornamented paper dolls, or colorful peacocks (with a weakness for tweed) Roberto Cavalli celebrated hippie chic’s Vegas-style marriage to rock glam. In his attempt to chronicle the fashion traveler’s adventurous journeys across continents, Cavalli used a mélange of international inspirations (as well as muses). Beaded African mask motif red carpet dazzlers, flamenco flavored peasant skirts and native Indian vests are few of the many striking pieces he dreamed up. It is hard to look at this collection and find an article of clothing that is bland, boring or cliché. If the multiple broaches over a cashmere cardigan will not do it for you, get your hands on a floor length yellow jersey bejeweled Cavalli gown with cut outs and paint the town red in impossibly high stilettos.
