Medium shot Anna Wintour departs STORYLINE CAVALLI ISSUES CALL OF THE JUNGLE AT MILAN SHOW For spring-summer 2011, Roberto Cavalli hangs it all out, from fringes, beading and intricate lacing, to sex up the look of his already super-sexy styles. Lover of the body-grabbing effect of snakeskin, Cavalli placed his latest collection in a make-believe jungle with huge plastic plants set up under a glass tent Monday(27 SEPT) behind the Arco della Pace, a Milan monument. "Me, Cavalli, she, Jane" the designer seemed to be saying as model after model walked through the jungle in skin-tight gowns and trousers to the thumping beat of a soundtrack. Many of the outfits were backless, but that came as no surprise. The sex-appeal of Cavalli's latest collection comes in the intricate workmanship. Almost every outfit is dripping with fringes, which carried over to the reptile skin shoulder bag. But if at times the fringes served as chastity curtains, the lacing did little to cover up the body. Instead, it was used for a peek-a-boo effect on the open seams of a flared pant or the bare midriff of a gown. On the runway, the fabrics looked like a combination of prints and beading, with a dash of real snakeskin. But a closer look showed that the patterns were not printed but were the result of intricate embroidery matching tiny silk leaves with pearls, sequins and fringes. Of course there was the staple snakeskin, which got its best use in the ethnic-inspired fringed shoulder bags that accompanied every outfit. Rather than spoiling the untamed effect of the collection by weighing it down with the currently popular ethnic-inspired jewelry, Cavalli preferred simple oversized gold loop earrings.
