A natural evolution of body-consciousness. The Collection is muscular, poised. Leather and skin are handwoven, silver paillette embroideries emphasize gesture. A new patchwork technique is applied to python and cavallino is coated with an aluminium treatment. Animalier play with scale combining abstractions of breed into a new hybrid.

Jewellery and accessories are bold. Toes are chisel heels scissored into sharp ankles on angle - boots and sandals, sometimes wrapped with jersey. Handbags bear a new Cavalli logotype of two C'S in nail-head studs sinuously interlinked like a serpent, combined with other styles directly drawn from heritage.
