Extraordinary Spring 2002 Roberto Cavalli Runway Look 5 Hand Painted Distressed Suede Full Length Coat Purples (Model in Photo 1: MalgosiaI literally did the gasp when I saw this coat in person for the first time. Cavallie said at the time that the theme of this collection was "a modern fairy tale" and the pieces had a bit of a folky feel to them. The suedes were distressed, softened and made to look aged. The twin of this coat walked the runway for Look 5 and I love that we have reference photos from the runway and video so you can see how fantastic this on and it moves. Alek Wek is
