Simply Abu Dhabi XIII

2 9 1 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2014 Men’s Collection R oberto Cavalli, along with his son Daniele, has created a crushingly stylish range that revels in contemporary elegant style with nuances of historical flair. Eastern influences simmer in the background as this collection delights with a beautiful, rich blend of classical variety. The Cavalli brand oozes a respectable, yet indulgent tone, whilst maintaining razor sharp and edgy cuts. There’s a juxtaposition between strong imagery, creative textures and impressive pattern, prints and embroidered detail that catches the eye. Familiar iconic items reappear in the form of biker jackets, superbly dovetailed into the collection. Embossed and printed leather features with braided zip pulls and elegant slim tailoring. Accessories are tangible, with patent leather loafers, silk bow ties, printed silk ties, strapped leather sandals. The colours are deep and mysterious, resplendent in evening shades from a warm, Eastern palette; rich burgundy, natural beige, full midnight blue and stark white resonate, whilst leather, silk, cotton and wool tie in perfectly with jacquard to offer a complementary range of materials.
