This striking Roberto Cavalli jacket captures the designer’s signature fusion of sensual structure and ornate embellishment. Crafted in a textured black wool base, the silhouette is cinched, contoured, and architecturally paneled with grey contrast stripes that elongate and sculpt the torso. The cut features Cavalli’s unmistakable early-2000s tailoring: a fitted waist, sharp shoulders, and a slightly flared hem that frames the hips.
Velvet-trimmed pocket flaps introduce rich material contrast, while the pièce de résistance lies at the front pockets—two dramatic, baroque crystal appliqués rendered in Cavalli’s opulent motif style. The jacket fastens with a row of tonal black buttons down the center, enhancing its corset-like visual line.
The construction, embellishment style, and silhouette align with Roberto Cavalli’s Fall/Winter collections from the early 2000s (circa 2002–2004), a period defined by ornate Western-meets-baroque detailing, velvet accents, and ultra-fitted tailoring. While not tied to one documented runway look, this jacket is highly consistent with that era's embellished equestrian-inspired jackets.
