Just two months shy of fashion being shaken by Roberto Cavalli's unexpected death, his eponymous brand is still pushing the industry forward and keeping his legacy alive with its Summer 2024 capsule. Entitled "Ray of Gold," Creative Director Fausto Puglisi reinterpreted an archival print conceptualized by the label's founder who reproduced the image of a sunbeam on his golden art deco lighter. "It was a sunny day when Roberto Cavalli sat at a cafe, cigar in one hand and camera in the other," the brand describes.
Once introduced to the world as a light dress featuring vivid rays and butterfly-shaped sleeves in the brand's Spring 2007 collection, the print has evolved into one of the label's most iconic prints consistently seen in ready-to-wear and haute couture collections. It's been famously worn by Jennifer Lopez at the 2022 Diamond Gala and most recently, Teyana Taylor at this year's Cannes International Film Festival.
