Roberto Cavalli

Last night, Bergdorf Goodman celebrated their 111th anniversary at NYC's Plaza Hotel with many fashionable guests. Karolina Kurkova arrived with Roberto Cavalli on her arm, while other model-designer pairs, including Erin Heatherton and Jason Wu and Coco Rocha and Zac Posen, made the rounds inside the Plaza's ballroom — take a look inside Bergdorf's glamorous bash. We were on the red carpet to ask the attendees all about their on-duty — and Halloween — style. Erin was thrilled with her ensemble for the night, telling us, "This is my most outrageous fashion moment!"

Karolina, meanwhile, is focusing on her son Archie's plans for Halloween. She told us, "For me, it's all about my 3-year-old son. He already decided what he's gonna be: Spider-Man! He's been sleeping in his costume every night — it's very cute — with the mask and everything."

Coco's not a mom just yet, but she reflected on her June 2010 wedding to husband James Conran and the kindness of designers like her friend Zac. She told us, "People have been so kind to me. Zac Posen, for example, [designed] my wedding dress. There are people who are so amazing in this industry that you don't have to buy things when you're a model!"

Roberto Cavalli's signature brand of sex appeal got cleaned up for Spring 2013 with a collection that examined dark and light — both in fabrics and in the women who wear them. Cavalli's casting for this show put blond models in a wide variety of sweet all-white ensembles made from lace and laser-cut leather that simply looked like lace. These looks yielded to white pieces tinged with lime green or pale orange treatments like prints or more cutout leather. Eventually the mood darkened to not-so-basic black in looks frequently shown on brunette models: one blazer with embellished shoulders was paired with sheer black trousers, while a dress with dramatic, flesh-baring cutouts got the same glittery treatment. It was an interesting exercise in dressing different kinds of women from one point of view. And that focus on dressing women is part of what turned this offering into one of Cavalli's most appealing outings yet.

We'll take our rock 'n' roll with a side of wispy lace romance any day, and at Roberto Cavalli, you shouldn't expect anything less. In one of his prettiest tough-chick collections yet, we were privy to heavily perforated (and shredded) details balanced with a sensual brand of skin-baring lace, silky slipdresses, and crisp white silhouettes. And while you'll still find Cavalli's edgier wares within, there's something refreshing about this overt turn to lightness and femininity. Check out all the pictures from Roberto Cavalli's Spring 2013 collection now, and come back soon for our full review.

Come Spring, this is the lineup every superstylish 20-something will want in her closet. Why? The fresh twists on leopard print, floral print, print on print, and patterned pants were all gorgeous to look at, yes, but more importantly, entirely wearable. For his younger line, Roberto Cavalli tempered the drama, giving us that signature, sexy Cavalli girl without the va-va-voom factor. Metallics were worked onto sweatshirts, and high-wattage geometric prints were streamlined on skinny-fit pants, done up in borders on silky button-downs, or washed perfectly onto sheer dresses you'd throw on to feel dressed up and totally sexy in under a minute. Truthfully, everything was just plain sexy — that perfect balance of edgy cool, like a leather jacket thrown over a sheer blouse, that felt entirely effortless and impossibly cool. And it didn't stop — even knits were given the cool-girl treatment with cutouts, and a menswear-style blazer was made infinitely more enticing with a lacy hem peeking out from underneath it.

• Trends: Print on print, vests, leather, sheer, metallics.
• Colors: Black, white, blue, nude, pink, purple, leopard print.
• Key Piece: We're loving the look of the blazer and lace; the cutout knit is a must-have piece.
• Accessories: Metallic ankle-strap heels, open-toe knee-high boots, mirrored glasses, colored chain necklaces, open-toe booties, slouchy messenger bags, and studded clutches.
• Who Should Wear It: Poppy Delevingne; we'd love to see Kate Bosworth in that chunky, cutout sweater and Alexa Chung in the metallic pullover.

Roberto Cavalli has joined the small handful of designers who took his cues from the sea this season: his Spring 2013 collection for Just Cavalli was inspired by a large tank of tropical fish he keeps at home. Vibrant colors like bright yellow, green, and purple combined with deep-sea blue to form interesting prints, and sequins that looked like glittering scales were applied all over one sweater and as accents on shirts. A blue-and-white print that featured conch shells was a cool addition to the mix, and it shone when paired with leopard print on the runway. Leopards may not be creatures of the sea, but this is a Cavalli collection, after all.
