The Cavalli Girls


MEET the new Cavalli four: Angela Lindvall, Raquel Zimmerman, Frankie Rayder and Isabeli Fontana who, replacing Kate Moss for this season, all star in Roberto Cavalli's new autumn/winter 2008-9 Cavalli campaign.
Inspired by the film Il Gattopardo starring Burt Lancaster and Claudia Cardinale, the shoot was photographed in Los Angeles by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh.
"I've always been aesthetically fascinated by this film. I also find Il Gattopardo, a story is based on the idea that 'the more it changes, the more it stays the same,' a good metaphor for fashion," Cavalli tells WWD.
"In the campaign, the heroine - a sort of new Angelica - Cardinale in the movie - dances in the wilderness while a fire rages in the background, she represents the force of everything that is new, yet in the end she's dresses like a romantic debutante. I find this idea, the contrast of old and new, to be very modern and thought provoking," he adds.
