"It is important to be chic"- Roberto Cavalli

For me Roberto Cavalli has always defined luxury. The prints which are lavished with beautiful colors smoothly coordinating and almost playing together. I've even named my kitten Cavalli because the print blend reminded me of Roberto's gowns.  So where is Cavalli? It seems that the so called "trendy" brands such as Kenzo, Phillip Plein and even DKNY are taking the center stage.

After flicking through the super heavy September issues I was disappointed to find only a few mentions of what Cavalli has to offer for the autumn-winter 2013/14 and decided to dedicate my third blog entry to the legendary brand.

The catwalk had enough light to show the beautiful embellished details and the iconic prints, covering the audience in the shadows. There was an obvious feel of how InStyle described it as Glam Rock. For me it was a lot more Gothic and thanks to Twilight obsession I would say that fashionable vampires should choose Cavalli for their winter outfits! Watch the fall-winter catwalk and decide for yourself what feeling you get from this.

So lets have a look at the collection....

The Prints:

As usual we can see the animal passion through these prints, therefore the good old leopard can be reused again! Cavalli is also keeping up with the zebra trend so you can be confident in getting your black and white striped print for this fall. I wont list everything that I have noticed as you can see the most interesting ones in the snapshots above. However I will point out that the color tones are as expected a lot more profound in their deeper shades to reflect the collection moving to the darker part of the year. Nevertheless, I do like the way that we will be reminded of the summer by the use of graphic print of flowers which are colored in the colder tones and the metallic. 

Fabric: 

To be a true vampire choose Cavalli's options in fur, velvet and silk with embellished metallic details. I know its good to be positive.... but I'm sorry! I really don't like the jumper knitwear options which online store had to offer. Otherwise the fabric combination is a chic as ever. 

Slick suits:

Beautiful, beautiful suits!!! Why not have one for each day of the week and be super fierce! There is a long list of things which I love about these. Tailoring is fantastic, you can still be a girly-girl and show off your figure when covered head to toe in a colorful print. I can see myself in each one of these suits at various events and just on a daily routine at work. Hmmm I can easily put a bet up that Zara will be providing the budget versions of these designs soon.....

Accessories: 

Elegant and girly contrasted with cold and gothic.... win, win, win! I hate moths but I love the moth necklaces, here is the contrast between the ugly and pretty again. The harsh leather and dark metallic detail strap on the handbag graphic flower which is drawn with a soft brush.... I have so much to say but I think that these pictures will say it all for me. 

So have a look at the catwalk (the link is provided at the top) and I will also recommend to play around on the official site, especially the psychotic love section. I think I need to stop chatting now and limit myself to the light review above as there is so much to mention, you might fall asleep when I finish and I might starve to death! Forward me your favorites from the collection and as Cavalli teaches, be bright, bold and totally fabulous!!!
