Hippies' Heaven

MILAN FASHION WEEK SPRING 2011: Roberto Cavalli brought back the nomadic free milieu of the hippies era in his Spring 2011 collection in the dreamiest way possible, also with his signature rock & roll, opulent sexual glitz and glam.

Long flowey constructions was integral in the collection, everything kept light with tulle in whitewashed nude, lilac, grey hues, long bohemian fringes and yes, a load of sparkles. For evenings, there were the occasional blacks and browns bedazzled with jewels. 

The mesmerizing collection was floating in air: with Cavalli injecting his signature discreetly, sensual but not too revealing slashes here and there, with a wild touch of animal prints in silks and organza. Oh what a reverie.
