Fausto Puglisi’s Colorful and Joyful Fall 2025 Collection for Roberto Cavalli
Tyla and Carla Bruni have both recently been spotted wearing Fausto Puglisi’s fall 2025 collection for Roberto Cavalli, showcasing the designer’s ability to create statement-making pieces that cater to a range of styles. Puglisi, known for his bold and vibrant designs, has become a favorite among celebrities navigating the paparazzi circuit, with Tyla donning an ultra-mini slip dress and Carla Bruni opting for a more restrained but still striking bias-cut number. While Puglisi’s Cavalli designs may be more discreet compared to the house’s founder, he has managed to make the brand his own since taking on the role of creative director during the pandemic.
One of the ways Puglisi has infused his personal touch into his Cavalli collections is by incorporating his signature color-blocking technique, reminiscent of his early work for his eponymous label over a decade ago. Inspired by a recent trip to Mexico City and a catalogue from a 1994 Jeff Koons show, Puglisi aimed to create a collection that exuded happiness and joy, offering a refreshing break from the complexities of the world. The merging of Puglisi’s color-blocking with Cavalli’s iconic animalier motifs resulted in eye-catching pieces such as car coats and slip dresses adorned with leopard spots in vibrant acid shades.
In addition to his play on color and prints, Puglisi also explored denim, a staple in the Roberto Cavalli repertoire. One standout piece featured denim fused with leopard chiffon and treated in a stone-washing machine for a unique “destroyed” look. Another highlight from the collection is a floor-length floral print slip dress embellished with denim corsetry details that added a touch of edginess to the feminine silhouette.
Celebrities have been quick to embrace Puglisi’s tailored pieces, with Jane Fonda rocking a striking elongating pantsuit in race car-red. The collection as a whole exudes a sense of playfulness and sophistication, offering a modern take on Cavalli’s signature aesthetic.
