Roberto Cavalli SS11
Wispy fabrics like chiffon and silk created an ethereal collection with the rock 'n roll edge that Roberto Cavalli is known for. The hippie silhouette ruled the runway with models sporting long locks with middle parts and suits and maxi dresses that were blowin' in the wind with fringe detail that was modern and far from the fringe trend that reminds us of flower children or cheesy Western flicks. Corset detailing moved throughout the center and hips of dresses, and even made its way onto bell bottom pants. Prints were reminiscent of snakes and ornate applique created a stunning metallic effect over sheer fabrics.
The cool toned palette of taupe, lavender, grey and dusty nude created a collection that was right on trend for spring and summer 2011. While Cavalli continues to send rock 'n roll flavor down the runway, this time it was a reinvention that gets us eager for pulling off that Anita Pallenberg look once the warm weather rolls around.
