At the Roberto Cavalli show, 1990s and 2000s supermodels like Eva Herzigova, Joan Smalls, and Alex Wek paid tribute to the late designer by wearing vintage Cavalli gowns. For the finale, Fausto Puglisi, Cavalli’s successor, brought Cavalli’s widow, Eva Cavalli, on stage, and the supermodels embraced her as they walked backstage in iconic archival looks.
Puglisi, who took over after Cavalli’s death in April, aimed to honor Cavalli’s legacy while appealing to a younger audience. His collection featured a mix of seaside dresses, slinky skirts, and vibrant, crystal-covered gowns, reflecting a modern take on Cavalli’s style. Eva Cavalli commended Puglisi for continuing their legacy with his innovative designs.
