Not quite content to let go the tribal, fringe-meets-animal print, vibe he’s so masterfully tweaked over the years, Roberto Cavalli took his hippie girl vibe up multiple notches, infused in a boatload of feathers and layered on the party girl eye makeup. While the results seemed pretty monochromatic, or one dimensional, the Cavalli girl will lust after the gold, copper and bronze metallics in jackets and short dresses. This was a collection of verbs–embellished, slashed, sliced, fringed, beaded and spliced–poured on lamé, Lurex, and panne velvet. The brocade jackets had plenty of appeal, as did the long-sleeved blouses and pleated chiffon dresses in the signature animal prints.
