NEW FASHION HORIZONS FOR ROBERTO CAVALLI

Seems like the new era has arrived in Roberto Cavalli design empire. Of course, that the fact of the new fashion designer the British Paul Surridge was indicated that the famous seductive note of Cavalli would be changed, but with the new designer seems like the new aesthetic politic has hit the fashion house of Roberto Cavalli. The previous design that was all about the sexy and femme-fatale kind of vibes, with the latest few collections made by Paul Surridge was definitely something else. The more toned down approach to the famous Cavalli codes is something that has and will be the artistic "Spiritus Movens". The proof for that is the latest Pre-Fall 2019 collection.

When we think and mention Roberto Cavalli you immediately think about the animal prints, vibrant colors and fur-rich textures. The "too-much-is-never-too-much" mantra was something that was considered the perfect Cavalli style. But with the more assertive perspective in the design sense of the persona of Paul Surridge, this glamour has been totally converted in the much refined and low-key fashion story. The famous animal prints, the sleek and structured silhouette with the imperative to accent the feminine beauty. All of that has emerged into a totally new level. Different but interesting!

Talking about the prints. This time they were the occupation in the case of Paul Surridge looks, too. But they were part of the masculine inspired forms and military ascended silhouettes. The play with the animal or floral prints goes even further in the sense of prints on prints approach. The mixture of them causes pretentious visual uber-game where the prints are held like the juxtaposition of layers and layers. Layers made of midi coats, midi skirts or cozy blouses. As we can see the imperative was on the casual side and that was what this collection has made so different and innovative.

There were a few of the typical "Cavalli" ensembles like the short black dress with the asymmetric cuts on the shoulders. Or the same off-shoulders version but in the mini-graphic prints. The vision of the dress in the eyes of Paul Surridge is more classy and refined. With the accents on the ruffles and lace textures: He never combines the crazy animal print with the short dresses. The example for that is the flowy caftan alike structured dress. He likes the idea of the layers and the whole concept of dressing up. Something that is definitely new in the house of Cavalli!

This collection has shown how the new design vision has been brought into the fashion house like Cavalli that has strong visual accents in the past. The modern Cavalli is maybe little shy, little assertive, little more casual but still so Cavalli. It is fresh, promising and so fashionable! Definitely a new era for the house of Roberto Cavalli!
