Fringes, lace and classic, with silhouettes both ultra-femme and menswear-inspired, are just a few words I would use to embody Roberto Cavalli's exquisite collection for Spring/Summer 2013. The incredible craftsmanship and detail of each individual piece is indicative of the conceptual artistry employed in the creative process. In most cases my attitude towards much that appears in couture runway shows tends towards admiration of the gifted marketing, models and showmanship used to essentially add more value to the various products displayed. This line, however, is proof that you can, in fact, still get what you pay for. I tried to provide the largest possible images to fully highlight the depth of the spectacular textures(!)
The samples here are only a small taste of the genius of Cavalli. They inspire me because they allow me to make additional leaps of my own imagination. I can picture them in any color on the spectrum..... The fringe leggings in neon pink..... The lace, smock-front blouse in oceanic turquoise..... Simply view the rest of the the collection for a rich palette to choose from for your own musings..... *heart skips a beat*
