Everything Old is Suddenly New

Roberto Cavalli pays homage to Richard Avedon's classic Versace imagery from the late Eighties and early Nineties for its Spring/Summer 2012 campaign. Model-maker Steven Meisel teams up with iconic models Naomi Campbell, Kristen McMenamy and Karen Elson alongside relative newcomer Daphne Groeneveld. Kudos has to be given to Cavalli for casting such an eclectic line-up with each model possessing a look that is uniquely distinct and individual. The pairing of new modelling sensation Groeneveld with supers Campbell, McMenamy and Elson, brings a freshness and interesting dynamic to the shoot. Cavalli's underlying message appears to be that beauty at any age can be fierce.
