The Just Cavalli Resort 2018 collection represents the perfect stylistic combination of the house. It draws inspiration from the mid-18th century. The 1980s are the fulcrum of inspiration of the collection, the music of that era is the ideal background to the collection, it is a mix of soft lines in contrast with bold outfits characterised by skin-tight silhouettes and sought-after materials.

This time, the exoticism of the animalier and floral patterns contrast with new designs characterized by motifs and details that recall journeys to far-away lands. The actress Liv Tyler, is the icon of this collection, whose sexy yet irreverent style represents the ideal combination of the Just Cavalli mood.

Rock & Roll style mini dresses with a single shoulder strap, jungle vegetation Broderie anglaise combined with a “chain and coins” print, contrasts inserts with sensual necklines with intarsia-effect laces. Skinny pants with a rock attitude combined with blouses. The colour palette comprises pastel shades. The core accessories of the collection are snakeskin print leather bags, metal chain belts, , ankle boots with cross-over lace-up fastenings, bags with a metal shoulder strap, and more. 

The men’s collection is the evolution of all the elements seen in the female collection that are both accentuated and developed to create the menswear selection. New influences, exotic animals and objects coming from his countless voyages is the main theme of the men’s collection and this results in garments that reflect all the aspects of the voyage faced by the Just Cavalli man.  The collection includes a hand-made section characterized by a series of shirts that are entirely hand-painted with splashes of colour and patterns that, yet again, recall far-away lands. Men’s accessories include laminated leather footwear with zips, calf leather boots, snakeskin print or studded leather belts, sneakers and narrow silk ties.
