SS01 Roberto Cavalli ‘Face’ Full Print Flared Denim Jeans

Known for his exotic prints, Roberto Cavalli can be accredited for pushing the boundaries of graphic design as early as the 1970s. Pioneering the “sand blasted” denim fade, his design ideals vastly contrasted the contemporary haute couture standards, citing interest in prints and pigment opposed to ‘elegant’ feminine cuts. Debuting long before counterparts like Jean Paul Gaultier, his distinct rebellion allowed for new techniques in patchwork and aging mediums, most notably with jean and leather textiles. Influencing a slew of trends in both the past and present, his utilitarian designs are often overshadowed by signature motifs, aiding in the development of Helmut Lang and Dolce & Gabbana’s respective niches.

 

Debuting in the Spring of 2001, these iconic jeans feature a feminine portrait in a pastel colour way. A piercing eye sits atop the right leg, complimented by a fleeting depiction of roses on the adverse side. Metallic jewellery then climbs up the denim, finding its way to the solid waist band, and metallic hardware to finish. In pristine condition throughout, measuring a size 30x29.5 with a 10.5 inch rise.
