Roberto Cavalli Menswear Autumn/Winter 2014-15 Fashion Show

Exploring the ideas of freedom, adventure and love, autumn/winter 2014 portrays the fundamental values of the Roberto Cavalli man. The artisanal and artistic roots of the house take centre stage in a rediscovery of the designer's intrinsic appreciation of adventure, forming an instinctive association between the worldly mindset of the modern Roberto Cavalli man and his contemporary wardrobe.
