Pleated mini skirts and sequins were blindingly prominent in the Roberto Cavalli Spring 2012 collection. Like every other Cavalli collection in -- well, ever -- the rock n' roll meets bohemian influence was strong.
Presenting Balmain-inspired gold dresses and some of the most outrageous floral print blazers I have ever seen, Roberto Cavalli made sure that the prints were the focus of the collection, pairing simple bandeau tops underneath the jackets.
The Roberto Cavalli Spring 2012 collection is not for wallflowers; it's not even for the everyday woman, by any means. A pair of gold sequined pants may be the highlight of the collection, and while they are not entirely wearable, die-hard fashionistas will surely be able to replace their seasons-old leather leggings with these flashy trousers.
