An exceptional early-2000s Roberto Cavalli long-sleeve top featuring the designer’s iconic maximalist floral print in saturated hues of rose pink, iris blue, deep green, and charcoal. Constructed in Cavalli’s signature second-skin stretch jersey, the piece showcases:
A dramatic lace-up corset neckline with gold hardware tips
Cascading dimensional ruffled appliqué along the bodice
Extra-long sleeves for an elongated silhouette
A painterly, almost baroque floral print incorporating botanical layering and shadowed depth
Cavalli’s signature printed artwork with visible Roberto Cavalli script in the design (confirmed in macro detail)
A standout archival example of Cavalli’s early-2000s romantic renaissance period, merging sensuality, print artistry, and sculptural detailing. Museum-grade collector’s piece.
