JUST CAVALLI RENAISSANCE ROCK
Fall/Winter 2014 -- 2015
One man, one city. Two lives connected to each other by art and beauty.
A single story told through the intensity of color, which is always able to create new dreams and new desires.
The Just Cavalli Fall/Winter 2014-15 collection focuses on the inestimable value of the Florentine Renaissance's artistic patrimony through the lens of Roberto Cavalli's contemporary creative vision.
Each gown evokes the passion the designer feels for his hometown, which becomes the star of the artistic prints; created to evoke and inspire.
The marble frames and stripes of Santa Maria Novella , the Aurora of the Sagrestia Nuova, and the Medici statues pay homage to Florence in a style which depicts the classics in a contemporary culture.
Silhouettes animate the catwalk with the material and chromatic dynamism typical of an extraordinary work of art.
A Rock artist with a youthful and decisive femininity, the Just Cavalli woman wears and interprets the masterpieces of the past with spontaneity and ease.
Experimental printing processes are present on the dresses as distinctive traits of the entire collection, portraying classic Renaissance elements of art and architecture.
Statues, flowers and paintings dominate: both singularly and in all-over collage prints, with a lightness created by the raw-cuts used throughout the collection.
Hand-painted animal prints are created through the overlaying of 7 different-colored brushstrokes, producing vivid painterly leopard patterns and redefining the body.
Chiffon, satin and silk viscose alternate with velvet and a new chalk coated light wool. Dresses made of matted needle-punched jacquard knitwear also receive the same painterly treatment.
Gold and brocade are used for jackets and pants. A grey base lives beneath the vivacious chromatic strokes of fuchsia, turquoise, bright blue, yellow and orange.
Like brushstrokes of color which come to life through the artist's hands, stripes and fringes provide a rhythm to the structure of the dresses and are reproduced on bags, boots and pumps to animate the looks with fluid and sinuous movements.
A Rock appeal and an intellectual spirit characterize the sunglasses with large round frames and mirrored chrome lenses.
