Live From... Milan Fashion Week, Day 1

Roberto Cavalli

             

The Riviera was cited as the inspiration for Roberto Cavalli's spring/summer showing. This was mirrored in the vivid colour palette and uber-luxe fabrications, perfectly constructed for the lifestyle of the jet-setting playboy.

The look: Mediterranean playboy

Silhouette: Lean, sharp shouldered and nipped waist

Key items: Sharp tailoring comes in an array of vivid brights, with narrow-waisted SB and DB jackets teamed with multicoloured striped shirts and white jeans for a casual laidback feel. Tuxedos feature embroidered detailing; a feature also picked up for casual shirts and sash details. The Cavalli man likes to mix his immaculate white tux with a chambray shirt, or to create a touch of joie de vivre, with clashing striped jeans and shirts and for him, going casual means an ultraviolet suede blouson trimmed with alligator or python, or a white polo neck layered under his vivid fuchsia DB suit

Colour: Fuchsia, ultramarine blue, ultraviolet, sunshine yellow, poppy, rose, terracotta, denim blue, black and white

Fabric & knit: Silk mohair suitings, grain de poudre, linen/silk blends, self jacquard, python, alligator, suede, leather

Print & pattern: Stripes

Details & trims: Embroidered lapels, embroidered shirt fronts, python panels

Footwear: Footwear had a 70s slant with ostrich, python and suede worked into casual loafers or moccasins and correspondent oxfords

Accessories: Striped canvas/leather holdalls, plaited leather belts, python belts
