10 Ways Roberto Cavalli Always Manages To Surprise You

There really is an endless number of shocking things you can do with animal prints.

1. By pairing an outfit that already contains prints, quilting, and voluminous fur trim with blue fur mid-calf boots.

2. By making half the audience go, "Are those pants see-through?" and the other half go, "OMG Cousin Itt is BLUE!" at once.

3. By always finding new renderings for tiger print.

4. And then using it for wild new pants styles.

5. By using reptiles in a way that doesn't involve skinning them.

6. By shaping dresses like loincloths.

7. This backpack.

8. By finding new materials for fanny packs.

9. By making a dress with this much pattern on it and deciding it also needs a statement necklace.

10. And perhaps most importantly, Cavalli manages to surprise — and delight! — everyone by showing up to his shows with his dog.
