Just Cavalli Fall 2012

Brittney Stephens — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:25:14 PST

Roberto Cavalli may have mixed things up a bit for the Fall 2012 showing of his bridge line, Just Cavalli, but the collection wasn't without the designer's signature rock 'n' roll sensibilities. Models were outfitted in super-skinny trousers, mixed-media-style frocks (think houndstooth and ocelot, zebra-print and Aztec zigzags), and playfully sexy Lurex tops, lending a vibrant, lighthearted '60s spin on an otherwise rocker-cool runway show. Cavalli did bring some new silhouettes into the picture, however - he showed sleek, slouchy patent-leather pants in hues of nude, red, and gray and also introduced a tailored, oversize menswear-inspired coat with leather lapels. More details on the Just Cavalli collection below.

Trends: Patent leather, fitted trousers, and, of course, animal prints.
Colors: Black, camel, red, nude, olive, forest green.
Key Piece: The allover leopard-print cape with bronze leggings; the champagne-colored dress dripping with paillettes.
Accessories: Glitter-covered ankle booties and mixed-print drawstring satchels.
Who Would Wear It: Cavalli connoisseurs like Miley Cyrus and Fergie.

Just Cavalli Spring 2012

FabSugar — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 12:28:51 PDT

The sexy, slightly boho, total glamour of Roberto Cavalli's younger line was on full display for Spring 2012. There were flirty minidresses, slim beaded jackets paired with chiffon blouses, skinny, ultra low-rise pants with exaggerated leather stitching, and billowing chiffon printed gowns. We loved the slim, tailored silhouette of the denim, making it a chic evening option when elevated with the appropriate textures - lamé, ornate beading, chiffon. Like Olivier Theyskens did with Theory, Cavalli executed here: making urban everyday wear just a bit more dressed up.

Trends: beading, fringe, the dressy jacket, chiffon gowns.
Colors: Peach, gold, baby blue, yellow.
Key Look: A peach and gold pants/jacket combo, the baby blue beaded jacket.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who love effortless day-to-night transition wear with some glam thrown in: think Rihanna or Kate Moss.

Fab Ad: Just Cavalli Spring '09

Is it me or does Kate Moss look extra beautiful in this campaign? The ad, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, captures the flawless Super wearing an array of the designer's tantalizing, Luxotica frocks and separates, looking undeniably glamorous. I love how the rich, tropical background complements Cavalli's lush animal prints and sensual palette. Her accessories are also amazing, and I can't forget to mention eye-candy models Kerry Degman and Justin Gaston. It's sensory overload, but in a good way.

I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Serena van der Woodsen

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 15:00:22 PST

Last night's episode of Gossip Girl was filled with new beginnings. Blair was trying to get in good graces with the Yale folks while Jenny presented her first fashion show. Serena, of course, was busy with her fluctuating love life. In an attempt to woo her new love interest, Serena pulled out all the fashion stops. Her Just Cavalli gown and jeweled Armani pumps were just what the love doctor ordered. Though you can't see it here, a cozy Vince shawl goes perfectly with her sophisticated frock. Note how Serena spiced things up with a colorful cocktail ring. Hail the queen!

Fall Glimpse: Separate Together

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 10:00:22 PDT

Admittedly, I got very used to the ease and femininity of the dress. The dress had a good run - and now my closet is bursting with them - but it's time to be more creative. The return of sportswear for Fall will bring many brilliant separates; micro-mini and calf-length skirts, scrunchy skinny, and slouchy, baggy pants, sheer and boldy printed tops, and some freakin' amazing outerwear.

Michael Kors is one man who has always done separates divinely (wave to Jourdan Dunn at left). If you choose to go the Mad Men route, he is your fashion God. If you're more of a mix master, dig Just Cavalli. For modernists, Y & Kei's sculptured jacket and serious slacks inspire.

This next trend might have you seeing colorful spots. Don't worry, it's not the measles or chicken pox! If black and tan animal prints aren't bold enough for ya, this Summer's take on animal prints are roaring with bright, electric hues. Attempt a yellow, green, or even hot pink animal print frock like this one from Just Cavalli and take a walk on the wild side.

Spring Peek: Exotica

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:00:22 PST

Many designers were trippin' for Spring. Whether it was an escape to India, a safari through Africa, or an excursion to Belize, exotica is one of the most exciting and adventurous trends to look forward to. Just Cavalli knows how to pack for it, so take note. It's easy to doze off into woolgathering when perusing these looks - maybe they'll inspire you to book your next exotic escape. What's on Fab's mind? I'm itching to go to Amsterdam or Thailand. Bon voyage . . .

Trend Alert: Cool Keys

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 10:00:22 PST

Was it the key to a woman's heart? Ah, the age old question. And I think there is no one answer. Diamonds? Obvi. Wining and dining? Totally. A shopping spree? Must I go on?! If you want to be literal, here are some cool keys. Give your rhinestones and pearls a breather. Try unlocking your fashion inhibitions by wearing an entrancing key around your neck.

Roberto Cavalli: "Every Woman Is a Supermodel"

Annie Tomlin — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:11:06 PST

Within 30 seconds of observing Roberto Cavalli, this much is clear: he doesn't just like women. He adores them. Whether making eye contact with his longtime wife, Eva, or greeting this reporter with a kiss on the hand, the Italian designer has an appreciation for all things feminine. And as he launches his new eponymous fragrance, it's no surprise that he has women on the mind. He's opened his showroom to talk about the scent, which is represented by model Elisa Sednaoui, a 24-year-old polyglot filmmaker who also happens to look stunning in a plunging Cavalli gown. (That's her above.)

Cavalli has already released a string of fragrances in the past decade, but this one, he says, is different. His first with Coty, it's a blend of pink peppercorn, orange flower, and roasted tonka beans. "It is a perfect perfume because it's not too much," he says, looking pleased with the result. "It's delicate, it's soft, it's very young." Young, but not too young - in the same way that Cavalli's animal-print gowns need to be worn with confidence, the fragrance has a certain sophistication that leans more womanly than girlish.

Cavalli has said that he designs clothes for women who want to be noticed, but he insists that attitude, not a "perfect" model physique, is the key to wearing one of his creations. "What does it mean to be a supermodel?" he asks. "To be tall and skinny? Absolutely not. Every woman is a supermodel. A supermodel is a woman who's feminine and strong. Many women are more beautiful than they think."

Roberto Cavalli, the fragrance, is available now.
