This season dressing à la Cavalli involves an enticing melting pot of influences, from the lush fabrics favoured by the princely merchants of 16th century Venice to the Hapsburg splendours of Sissi, the beautiful 19th century Empress of Austria– all leavened with a dash of piractical swagger.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eYou can easily see that pirate\u003cem\u003e 'great coat'\u003c\/em\u003e cut influence in this jacket in both how it was styled on the runway and also in its lines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMy client told me that these were only available through special order and she ordered this one directly from the flagship Cavalli shop in Milan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe jacket is made of a four separate layers of printed and patterned silk chiffon that have been stacked over each other. With it using the lightest possible chiffon the jacket is still extremely light in weight even with the four layers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe very top layer is a soft green that has a slightly iridescent feel. This is then detailed with a print set to highlight the cut and design of the jacket. Set within that print is delicate gold that has been set on top of the silk. I love that the back of this fabric has a completely different print to it. It has a more purple undertone and a more intricate design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe next layer under that is a classic Cavalli leopard print and then the next is a chiffon that combines purple with a floral pattern and has more gold fused onto it. The final inner print is the same print as the second layer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe shoulders are soft and the sleeves extend out fairly wide and they are cut slightly on a curve. I love how there is a little snap that holds up the cuff of the sleeve so that you see the innermost leopard print inside. You can also choose to undo that snap and wear it long. If you wear it that way it has a slit up the side of the cuff as it falls over the hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe collar is soft and the edges have been left raw cut. The collar flips over slightly and then it falls with the four layers of silk separated down the front with the same raw edge finish to all the layers. There are three sets of ties inside near the waist that you can use to close the jacket.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe fit is more loose and easy as it glides over the body and then the lower portion of the jacket flares out. The back is split and there is extra fabric all the way around the lower part of the jacket. This is what give the fullness to the lower part of the jacket that you see and creates its sweep around you. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eParts of the back are cut longer to give a nod to the tails of a great coat. The extra fabric also gives you wonderful movement as you walk. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePockets sit along each hip and they have ribbon finished edges on the part that sits inside the jacket.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMany of the outer seams have been folded back to expose the raw edged layers of silk chiffon. They are held in place and defined by a thin black grosgrain ribbon. The attention to detail on this jacket is fantastic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe layers serve as the lining and it closes with the ties at the front as described above. I see some extremely minor marks on the front near the shoulder. Because you see the pattern from underneath these can barely be seen but they are mentioned for accuracy. There is a pull on one sleeve. Please see the photos after the label shot. The fabrics are signed throughout. The easy cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes. It will just drape more on a smaller frame.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTagged a modern Cavalli M\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eExcellent overall condition with the note above.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSleeves: approximately 24\" when the cough is snapped up and 27\" if it's left to hang down.
