CLASS ROBERTO CAVALLI S/S 03 Zebra Print Cheongsam Mini Dress Mandarin Collar S - IT 40

This stunning Class Roberto Cavalli mini dress blends two worlds of excess: unapologetic Italian sex-appeal is whipped with colorful, exuberant motifs of the Far East. Chinoiserie is the word. The look bohemian and over-the-top.

Florals and animal patterns clash in bold strokes of black, red and gold. This dress features a mandarin collar with cap sleeves that tie to close, and a hook and eye closure across the right upper body. Bias cuts at the hips allow for a waterfall-ruffle effect that brushes the upper-thigh.

ERA: Similar pieces were produced in Spring/Summer 2003. Fashion fun fact! Peter Dundas was the behind-the-scenes designer at Cavalli during this time. Under his direction (btwn. 2002-2005), the fashion house refined this now-iconic style celebrated by publications then as the “rockstar’s girlfriend” look. Patrons of this aesthetic include Carmen Electra and Pamela Anderson.

MADE IN ITALY.
