RIP Roberto Cavalli – Nirantara Fashion

Every time I see a Robert Cavalli design on the pink carpet I’m at all times giddy with pleasure as a result of few designers have mastered the artwork of critically high-octane pink carpet glamour fairly just like the Italian designer.

Roberto Cavalli fashioned my love animal prints and hypersexual silhouettes whereas main the cost for overindulgence within the ‘90s and early 2000s.

All-over sequins, intricate beading, feathers, and occasion prints proved well-liked with loyal Cavalli followers like Kylie Minogue, Naomi Campbell, Sharon Stone and Victoria Beckham, to call a number of.

When Roberto Cavalli stepped down as artistic director, the label tried to herald a brand new period.  However those that grew up with the Roberto Cavalli label wished a return of the sultry unapologetic glamour, which Fausto Puglisi has modernised whereas holding the Cavalli ethos alive.

However that hasn’t stopped the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, and the Kardashian’s sourcing authentic Cavalli robes from the designer’s wealthy archives.

So with the announcement that Roberto Cavalli handed away at 83-years-old right now, I need to thank him for the all of the breath-taking pink carpet moments which have given us a lot pleasure and pleasure which I nonetheless reference to today.

My favorite reminiscence of Roberto Cavalli was attending a trend present in Milan, and seeking to the left of the runway to see him watching the present from the side-lines. It appeared unusual on the time, however trying again he clearly wished to benefit from the spectacle of all of it, and see our expressions as every mannequin dominated the runway.

Regardless that I cherished the animal prints, my favorite Roberto Cavalli second continues to be this Kate Hudson’s 2011 ‘The Skeleton Key’ London premiere robe.

Grazie, Mr Cavalli.
