Top 10 Picks

1.top 1

Roberto Cavalli evolves the elegance and tailoring of the last collection, freeing the man from the rigour of Winter and dressing him with the freshness and positivity of Summer.

2.top 2

"... The freedom to be, to do, to want, to dream and to create, captured in a moment that I love to call 'Riviera': sea, cheerfulness, happiness, colour ... a relaxed and groovy state of mind ... A perfect place to encounter different cultures and to compare different thoughts, different styles: this is the inspiration of my collection ... " says Roberto Cavalli.

3.top 3

The jacket is rigorously cut with a close-fitting back, a narrow front with generously proportioned, embroidered lapels.

4.top 4

Italian tailoring is enriched with colour, embroidered thread and embellishments.

5.top 5

Leather is the protagonist for much of the collection: American inspiration for blazers and jackets made in suede and python with precious tassles, paired with denim and linen in bright, bold colours.

6.top 6

The casual tuxedo suits are illuminated with sashes of embroidered silk. The silhouette enhances the long line of the body.

7.top 7

The loafers are made from an intricate woven leather with python detailing, characterised by handmade finishing and assembly; an expression of pure Florentine artisanship.

8.top 8

The pants harmoniously follow the line of the leg.

9.top 9

Authentic masculine tailoring fabrics, such as mohair, grain de poudre and linen/silk, are interpreted through the use of colour and specialised weaving techniques.

This is my absolutly favourite collection of S/S 12! Everything was perfect; the location, the show, the models, the atmosphere and the collection itself of course :) Combining the glamour of old Jetset with refined, italian design and luxurious fabrics. I love the confidence and the elegance of the looks.

How do you like the collection?

  1. I want your life. That looked like a blast.

    I like to collection but I don't think anyone in L.A. would wear it, too formal. This is such a casual city! It's kind of a shame but there you have it.

    Keep up the great work! I'm really enjoying your coverage.
