RUNWAY: Roberto Cavalli SS19

Roberto Cavalli's new designer, Paul Surridge (previously at Jil Sander and Z Zegna), offered a strong debut for the Italian house now owned by Clessidra. There was no lack of animal print but the strongest pieces were the ones that mixed the codes of the house (maximalist prints) with Surridge's pristine and carefree tailoring skills. There was plenty to digest here, ardent fans will see familiar offerings that won't dissuade them to go to other maximalist designers while those who've shied away from the loud prints and its equally vocal namesake designer will find something to appeal to them as well.
