I agree. Unfortunately, fashion is fickle and I have a feeling this trend will pass. We’ve seen ethnic prints on the runway for the past two season and I’m not sure if it’ll make a comeback this coming fashion week. Only time will tell…

I actually enjoyed this collection and what Cavalli did with the prints/pattern choices. Very funky and fresh. I hope Cavalli and other designers (i.e., Donna Von Furstenberg) alike continue to revisit African-inspired collections over the course of their careers and not just dabble in it here and there for hype sake. African fashion shouldn’t be relegated to a passing frenzy over raffia one season and safari prints the next.
