At his Just Cavalli show on Saturday, Roberto Cavalli had embraced a youthful spirit and manifested it in a festival-inspired collection. But for his mainline, it’s all a bit more glamorous – for grown-ups – and a bit more bling.
Cue the first series of sequin-smothered looks that ran from blazers and shimmying skirts to flapper dresses strewn in the golden glamour. Just as we had seen at Versus last night, there was a play with pleats that splayed around the waist from beneath the bust and then centred back on the hips and, in a more straightforward fashion, as pleated skirts and dropped-waist dresses with cobweb necklines, all the while with sequins diffusing down them.
But then it went tropical too – a mash-up of the exoticism of the Twenties with the exoticism of the jungle (something which was reflected in the music too – bursting out as it did into tribal drums at various points). Bright yellow, azure and psychedelic tropical prints tumbled across blazers and more dropped-waist gowns – this time the skirts beneath ran to the floor. Tiger prints and leopard spots showed off a wilder side to this House of Eliott woman, who updated her look with sleeveless blazers and masculine tailoring.
Plunging backs on beautiful evening gowns showed this patch of flesh, not the midriff, as Cavalli’s zone of choice, while on the shoe front, wedge heels were elaborately sculpted and carved and cut out.
This was bling, but back in the day – and with a Cavalli glamorous twist.
