Newly appointed Creative Director Fausto Puglisi comes with pomp and polish for the Roberto Cavalli Fall 2021 RTW collection, creating a body-conscious, sexy line.

“It’s a brand connected to Italian eccentricity,” Puglisi said, “one with such a glorious energy from the past, but at the same time I’m thinking about the days we are living and thinking about how the future can be.”

The collection hits all the Cavalli beats: It’s molto heavy on animal motifs, and the clothes are cut to show off lots of skin. Puglisi’s signature double-slit dress, which was made famous by Jennifer Lopez and Kendall Jenner, reappears in Roberto Cavalli prints.

However, not everything is headed for the nightclub or the red carpet. Cavalli built his brand on fashionable denim in the 1970s. Puglisi dyed his denim in the black and beige shades that dominate the season’s palette. Hoodies, puffers, and leather perfectos with gold claw embellishments are also foundational.
