Fausto Puglisi celebrated Roberto Cavalli, who died in April, with Eva Herzigova, Natasha Poly, Karen Elson, Joan Smalls, Isabeli Fontana, Alek Wek and Mariacarla Boscono wearing iconic looks from the late designer.
, Isabeli Fontana, Alek Wek and Mariacarla Boscono walked the runway, blowing kisses and smiling widely as they filed out one after the other wearing archivalAfter an image of the late designer was blown up on a screen in the background, the models appeared in Puglisi’s spring collection to cheers and clapping and a remixed soundtrack of “Living on My Own” by Freddie Mercury.
Puglisi said he was struck by a dress worn by the late American actress and singer Aaliyah, which will be revisited. “She was a singer that everyone adored and that everyone still remembers. And then the memorable Jennifer Lopez look . I wanted to choose pieces that are connected to the world of music because I was born with music, I live through music and work with music. I am convinced that if Roberto had not become a designer, he would have been a musician, or a rock star.”.
Few may know that Puglisi met Cavalli in Florence when he was asked to be in charge of the brand’s celebrities. “I lived in Los Angeles at the time and back then I did not want to return to Italy, so I declined his offer. But he was wonderful and it is one of the moments I remember with great fondness,” mused Puglisi. He remembers with affection how “happy and honored” he was to receive congratulatory messages from the Cavalli himself when he joined the brand in October 2020.
Puglisi’s first sign of a tribute to Cavalli after his death was the decision to change the direction of the resort collection, reworking the zebra and rose prints. In June, he reinterpreted an archival Ray of Gold print conceived by the namesake founder, who reproduced the image of a sunbeam refracted on his golden Art Deco lighter.
