Golden Elegance: Roberto Cavalli’s Spring/Summer 2026 Collection
At Milan Fashion Week, the air was filled with palpable anticipation as Roberto Cavalli unveiled his Spring/Summer 2026 collection, “Gold Obsession,” on September 25, 2025. Under the masterful direction of Creative Director Fausto Puglisi, the show transformed a lavish venue into a mesmerizing showcase of opulence, where golden audacity whispered tales of timeless seduction.
Puglisi, who has been redefining the brand with his Sicilian-inspired touch since 2023, expertly navigated the tantalizing interplay between boldness and sensuality. His latest offering is an ode to golden elegance, channeling the regal spirit of Elizabeth Taylor’s Cleopatra while embracing the carefree Bohemian soul of Jane Birkin.
The collection celebrates gold not merely as a color but as a metaphor for empowerment and allure—precious, daring, and imbued with a gentle touch. With a palette exclusively dedicated to shimmering metallics, the runway became a river of reflective glory that transcended conventional fashion boundaries.
Gone are the house’s signature vibrant prints, replaced by a captivating sea of metallics and luxe materials. Fluid gowns danced with a life of their own, glimmering like the sun over the waves of St. Tropez. Each piece was designed to capture light, creating a visual symphony of movement and elegance.
Key highlights included sheer T-shirt dresses adorned with delicate embroidery, evoking a sense of ethereal beauty, and low-waist bell bottoms that echoed Birkin’s quintessential free spirit. The inclusion of corseted slips with foil accents and playful silhouettes introduced a delightful rebellion, embodying a spirit of femininity that is both commanding and alluring.
“Gold can be over-the-top, but I wanted it strong with a soft hand,” Puglisi remarked, encapsulating the essence of the collection. His vision for the modern woman is one who embraces her strength with quiet confidence, draped in luxe fabrics that shimmer with every step.
“Gold Obsession” not only showcases Puglisi’s ability to intertwine opulent aesthetics with modern sensibilities but also sets a fresh narrative for Roberto Cavalli, inviting women to dress not just for their appearances but for the powerful identities they embody. As the lights dimmed and the last model exited, it was clear that this collection was more than just fashion; it was a statement, a celebration of the golden woman ready to conquer the world with grace and audacity.
With “Gold’s Gentle Roar,” Roberto Cavalli has indeed set the stage for a new era, reviving the spirit of luxury with a bold yet tender touch, ensuring that each piece resonates with the power of both the past and the present.
