THE LINES:
There are talents who, to express themselves and their full potential, need to take different routes even though they remain faithful to their main inspiration. Roberto Cavalli’s talent is about a search for beauty which needs to be expressed in many forms. That is why the Cavalli trademark is found on many lines-from clothing to accessories. Indeed, Roberto Cavalli is the trademark that expresses a fashion which caters to myriad requirements, because the search for beauty—for both men and women—must necessarily be achieved in a variety ways. Just Cavalli is the line dedicated to a more contemporary stylistic research for men and women’s clothing. Class Roberto Cavalli is the line for men and women with a more relaxed stylistic touch. Many more lines, such as those dedicated to children, jewels and eyewear receive the constant attention, care and creativity of this groundbreaking artist. Roberto Cavalli remains forever focused on making fashion innovative, in order to make it an accessible and easy expression of the culture of time and the way it changes.
Accessories:
"Psychotic love" was created to promote Roberto Cavalli's accessories collection, and to tell the story of the Hera Bag. "Psychotic love" is a film created through photographic sequences, narrating the story of a strong and rebellious woman, on the verge of insanity, expressed in a satirical way. The story is illustrated through colors, which gradually become darker and more decadent, representing the evolution of the star character's personality. A cascading mood which culminates in delirium and brings her to ecstasy: The moment, in which she decides to change her life, leaving everything behind, but her "Hera Bag"....
Roberto Cavalli Autumn/ Winter 2013-2014
Roberto Cavalli depicts seduction for the Autumn/Winter 2013-14 collection. This lavish collection, with a strong and refined power of seduction, was built around the cult and the love of art and craftsmanship. Ensemble of Flora and fauna, as seen in the masterpieces of Caravaggio and Rubens, have been revisited and reinterpreted by professionals and art student alike, to create fabrics that through a plissé effect become cubist fantasies and it extends to the workmanship on the furs traditionally assembled on a loom with small leather strips, to the profusion of sequins, sparkles, studs and small chains used on the fabrics and leathers for a captivating and sensual “armour” effect.
It is undeniable that this collection and its characteristics consciously penetrate the sphere of couture. The printed double revers tuxedos (like the stripes on the super-slim pants), the fitted tweed tops embellished with sequins, or mini-skirts with micro-steel inlays and fox furs with chiselled detailing and tri-dimensional jacquard.
The colors represent a fusion ranging from black-white-silver to magenta, cobalt blue, aquamarine, with tones of violet and fuchsia, and then black with gold inlays. The accessories feature a softer and more delicate interpretation of the renowned Hera shoulder bag collection, the mythological goddess procuress of femininity, revisited in different floral and animal print nuanced fabrics and 4-inch high-heeled pumps with geometric lines and metal tips. Necklaces sculpted with moths, snakes, roses, raspberries, blueberries; brooches with eagles on the tuxedo shirt collars and large earring-sculptures jewelry which envelops and seemingly protects, while at the same time creating an everlasting impression.
