Roberto Cavalli's 2009 Spring collection displayed platform sandals, sequins, and big-time costume baubles. The show's "Back to Nature" title were recognized in leopard and zebra prints, but even they were done up in candy-colored silks. Some of the dresses and t's had macro-prints of the faces of Roberto and his wife, Eva.

The little bit of this, little bit of that approach gave the show an I-just-nicked-this-from-my-mom's-closet vibe, totally in keeping with the way young girls dress today. The designers may have indulged their wacky side, but chances are that's just the way their customers like it.
