With a collection for H&M set to debut this coming November as well as his main line being presented on September 26th, Roberto Cavalli is a busy man indeed, yet he still managed to wow his audience with his Spring/Summer 2008 collection entitled “La Ma Africa”.

Incorporating elements of ceremonial dress the collection took the crowd with thigh-skimming dresses, exotic bold geometric prints and lots of bright colours such as fuchsia, aqua, yellow and red…all accessorized with flashy bangles!

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.

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…
