Roberto Cavalli Pre-Fall Fashion Show 2009

For someone who made a name out of designing looks that are rock star wives and the kind that Courtney Love would wear, this collection was, by far, the most clothed and reserved Robert Cavalli ever showcased.

First up, he divided his pre-fall collection into a series of nature-inspired prints, 40s era suits mingled with silk caftans and sporty nylon anoraks, as well as cocktails dresses for those parties every Cavalli’s women must attend. Color palette wise, it came with shades of navy blues, some animal-esque prints and wavy prints.

Roberto Cavalli has deviated from the all-out glamour-in-your-face looks and went for something less coquettish and more sophisticated by using prints other than his signature animal prints. The collection could have suffered from last season’s too-many-cooks-spoiled-the-broth syndrome, although the sub-categorizations have held strongly, the overall collection may not have done as strongly as the subgroups did. Nevertheless, the collection read classic glamour Cavalli way.



My favorite look was this summer-inspired printed top with black pants (PICTURED) because it brought a sense of freedom in the collection, despite the fact that it was meant for pre-fall seasons.
