Roberto Cavalli introduces Gold Obsession for Spring Summer 2026, a collection designed by Fausto Puglisi that radiates sensuality and confidence. Gold serves as a declaration of vision, precious, contemporary, and unapologetic, reflecting the women who embody Cavalli’s character. For DSCENE Magazine, photographer Sohom Das exclusively documented the backstage moments of Roberto Cavalli’s Spring Summer 2026 show.
The collection embraces freedom and instinct, refusing compromise. Puglisi drew inspiration from icons like Elizabeth Taylor’s Cleopatra, Nan Kempner’s elegance, and Jane Birkin’s Saint Tropez ease. These references converge into a narrative of multifaceted femininity that balances immediacy with couture precision.
Materials brought drama and richness to the runway. Fil coupé, devoré, coated lace, liquid jersey, and three-dimensional jacquard shaped fluid silhouettes. Gowns and frocks flowed with liberating ease, celebrating desire through movement and texture.
Denim anchored the collection in Cavalli’s tradition while reasserting its relevance. Low-waisted bell-bottoms appeared with lace-up details, metallic coatings, and distressed finishes. Styled with fluid shirts or oversized jackets, denim blurred casual energy with glamour. In eveningwear, it was elevated further, transformed into bustiers set within embroidered gowns, proving its versatility within luxury.
Key moments included pleated frocks and trenches detailed with trompe l’oeil Iside prints, and a couture gown pieced together from laces threaded through suede to form Moorish-inspired motifs. These designs revealed Puglisi’s ability to merge daring sensuality with technical craft.
Accessories reinforced Cavalli’s iconic codes. The snake appeared in mules, pumps, and sandals, and re-emerged as piercing motifs for handbags. Jewelry echoed this serpentine aesthetic, while playful micro bags referenced Serpentine, Cavalli’s fragrance, connecting fashion to scent and identity.
