Product Description
A rare 2011 Spring/Summer runway piece by Roberto Cavalli, showcasing the designer’s signature approach to sensuality, intricate textile work and dramatic movement. This highly collectible dress combines an exotic crocodile-embossed texture with an elaborate network of woven and fringed elements, creating an exceptionally intricate surface and sculptural silhouette.
The halter-style construction follows the body before opening into an asymmetric, fluid skirt. Multiple layers of finely worked fringe cascade across the front and back, while the crocodile-inspired embossed panels create a rich three-dimensional texture throughout the garment. The muted silver, champagne and taupe palette gives the otherwise dramatic construction an understated, almost antique metallic quality.
The extensive hand-like textile detailing and abundance of flowing fringe make this considerably more elaborate than a typical Cavalli ready-to-wear piece. The garment moves dramatically with the body, revealing different layers of texture and fringe as it moves, making it particularly suited to collectors of archival runway fashion and Cavalli’s early-2010s work.
Condition: S — Brand New (with tags).
Unworn and in pristine condition, complete with original tags. The original composition and care labels are present, and the garment retains its original construction and detailing.
