ANDREA JANKE presents FUR SAUVAGE
by Roberto Cavalli
"Forty years of Roberto Cavalli - it scarcely seems credible. How many in the enormous audience for his Fall presentation were even born when he first set needle to appliqué to denim in his little shop in Saint-Tropez? ... it's hard not to come over all Renaissance-like with Cavalli, because his appreciation of the artisanship of his native Florence has always been greatest asset. In this collection, his use of brocade, dévoré, studded leather, and embroidered broadtail all felt like vintage flourishes out of time. Even his signature brash animal prints were blurred and faded, as if time had its way with them. It was romantic in its own decadent way. The impression was compounded by a backdrop that impressively evoked a crumbling palazzo. Still, there was promosing modernity in the way Cavalli composed outfits from light, multilayered pieces.

In his show notes, the designer claimed he'd always created dresses for the most beautiful women and "for men who need the beauty of women to complete themselves."(Roberto Cavalli)
