Roberto Cavalli is experiencing a renaissance. In the past few seasons, the designer has revitalized his brand, straying from the clichéd and predictable niche for which he carved himself. For years, a Roberto Cavalli show was about which animal print would get the most runway time and how low cut and adorned a garment could become. Now don’t go expecting minimalist, color blocked daywear from the designer, as this collection has more sequins and leopard print that we saw in the whole week in New York, but there was a youthful, more decisive inspiration at play for spring. Deconstructed, the collection featured a number of standout pieces that are sure to get more editorial play than his past collections.
