Roberto Cavalli Makes Middle East Debut at Dubai Fashion Week
The Italian luxury label Roberto Cavalli made its mark at Dubai Fashion Week with a stunning presentation of its spring/summer 2025 collection, marking the brand’s first showcase in the Middle East.
Against a backdrop featuring the brand’s iconic golden emblem, models graced the runway in a display of bold black-and-white printed outfits, complete with eye-catching patterns reminiscent of animal motifs.
From long, structured coats to tailored suits, wide-brimmed hats, and high boots, the show kicked off with a powerful statement setting the stage for what was to come.
As the collection unfolded, sleek tailored suits, glamorous mini-dresses, and flowing gowns showcased a mix of modern sophistication and bold statement pieces.
The color palette transitioned from monochromatic tones to vibrant hues, starting with a striking introduction of bright greens. Flowing pleated dresses and figure-hugging designs in various shades of green took center stage.
Vivid greens were followed by striking pinks and deep reds, with rose patterns adorning halter-neck dresses and flowing gowns, adding a touch of romance to the collection.
Textures played a key role in the showcase, with standout pieces like a fuchsia snake-patterned suit and pleated fabrics adding movement. Corset-style dresses highlighted structure and femininity, while flowing silks and airy satins contributed to the collection’s dynamic mix.
Celebrities and influencers graced the front row, including “Dubai Bling” star Loujain Adada, Egyptian actress and model Enjy Kiwan, reality TV sisters Nadine and Farah Abdel Aziz, Tunisian model Ameni Esseibi, and more.
The show concluded with a gracious appearance by Fausto Puglisi, the brand’s new creative director, thanking the audience for their support.
Founded in the 1970s by the late Roberto Cavalli, the brand has become synonymous with Italian luxury and glamor, known for its bold use of tropical patterns and animal prints that continue to captivate on international runways and red carpets.
