Animal Collage at Cavalli

Roberto Cavalli is one of my favourite designers, as i find he adapts so quickly to trend and seasons as well as being a major trend setter.
I've already expressed my love for animal prints and Cavalli has used them as his main trend for A/W2011. Instead of sticking to leopard like many other designers, Cavalli is using a variety of prints per garment, creating really amazing patterns and colours in his pieces. He has also then included fur pieces, the use of fur and then animal prints creates a really interesting textule look.

I'am thinking that I may be able to use blow up patterns taken from flowers as prints for fabrics or background for illustration boards !

A new take on Animal Prints

Last season animal skin/fur prints were huge, especially leopard and tiger. With the likes of majoy fashion houses such as D&G and Cavlli.


However the new season is seeing another kind of animal print come to trend, ... actual images of the animals so famous for their prints such as Leopards, Pandas and Giraffes.

Louis Vuiton has been the main designer for this trend using many jungle animal as inspiration for his prints, my favourite is the Giraffe suit as the print being so tall gives the illusion of a longer leg.


This is a Marcus Lupfer jumper that I saw at my work, I love the colours and sequin embellishment BUT is £300 to much for a jumper ???
