Roberto Cavalli SS1997 Stretch Knit Maxi Dress – Sand Gold

Size IT L (fits M–L, please refer to measurements)

A rare Roberto Cavalli maxi dress from the Spring/Summer 1997 collection, seen on the original runway presentation. Crafted in a fluid stretch knit blend, the piece features a tonal crosshatch print in layered sand, straw, and warm olive tones, creating a textured effect reminiscent of woven linen or natural basketry while maintaining the movement of a second skin.

The silhouette is long and elongated, falling to the floor with a gentle A-line flare that enhances movement. A deep scoop neckline at the front is balanced by wide shoulder straps and an equally open back, creating a clean yet sensual line.

The defining detail lies at the hem, where a dramatic charcoal-grey dip-dye effect rises into the golden base in a deliberately painterly transition, adding depth and contrast to the otherwise warm palette.

The stretch construction allows the dress to follow the body naturally while remaining fluid and comfortable, reflecting the effortless sensuality characteristic of Cavalli’s late 1990s vision.

A true collector’s piece from one of the most iconic Italian luxury houses.
