Roberto Cavalli SS14: Whisperings and champagne and stars

What would happen if Daisy Buchanan and Talitha Getty got together and threw a right old knees up? Whiskey, sequins, dancing and opulence - and Roberto Cavalli's SS14 collection is surely what they'd be wearing. Floor-length bugle-beaded gowns in icy 1920's boudoir hues; swaddling silk kaftans made for wafting; backless party dresses and dip dye silk crochet - all accessorised with the party girl's essential: little hip flask bags dangling from delicate silver chains. There were ultra-opulent fabrics to keep Cavalli's super-elite yacht set happy: swathes of mink to toss around the shoulders should the evening air start to turn chilly, and silvered crocodile pants to rock n' roll all night long in. It all came to a head when Joan Smalls took to the catwalk: time seemed to slow down a touch as all eyes in the room followed her perfect prowling movements. And that is exactly who Roberto Cavalli designs for: the most beautiful girl in the room.
