Fashion house Roberto Cavalli unveiled its Pre-Fall 2024 Collection, designed by Fausto Puglisi, that brings reimagined vision of the brand’s heritage, tailored for today’s powerful and fearless women. This collection easily transitions from day to night, embodying a wardrobe that is as versatile as it is compelling.
The collection draws inspiration from the image of brave women riding across the Argentinian Pampas and the Arizona desert, blending this with a sleek, urban aesthetic. It strikes a delicate balance between vibrant flamboyancy and refined sobriety. Puglisi focuses on creating slender, lean silhouettes, experimenting with prints that range from a captivating allover degrade Appaloosa photographic motif to a striking graphic bandana pattern in various color combinations, including blue, red, and white. These designs pay homage to Puglisi’s fascination with the American dream.
Malachite, symbolizing strength and protection, is a recurring element in the collection. It appears as an allover pattern on breezy chiffon dresses and rich devore velvet styles, as well as a decorative detail on the buttons of blazers and tailored outerwear pieces.
The collection features bias-cut twill frocks, combining femininity and ease, and lightweight chenille styles that offer a modern take on luxury comfort. Puffy duvets provide a contrast to sleek leather trenches, while velvet devore robes add a sensual opulence. The elongated silhouettes of the lineup are further exalted by essential tubular boots and pumps with a sculptural, fang-shaped heel painted with enamel for a horn-like effect.
A highlight of the collection is the iconic Roar bag, which is presented in new color options and a more practical, roomy variation, always adorned with the signature tiger heads.
