The Wearable Art of Cavalier
Singapore-based label Cavalier presents their SS18 collection Incognito—though the littles will be anything but in these clothes! Ingeniously constructed from grosgrain ribbons, the collection takes its name from the exquisite Incognito dress.
Made of lightweight denim and featuring Cavalier’s signature reversible neckline (one side rounded, the other a deep V), the Incognito dress is detachable at the waist, making for plenty of styling options: wear the top and skirt separately or as a dress.
The new collection delivers a fresh take on Cavalier’s iconic and much-loved Pasche dress, a nod to British designer John Pasche’s legendary tongue and lips logo for the Rolling Stones. The denim shift-style dress with punk princess lace and champagne foiled accents is simultaneously surreal and simple to wear. For the elegant little ladies, the Gift dress is a black and white ode to Audrey Hepburn’s timeless style, with an oversized bow that is simply irresistible.
For those looking to twin for the win, you can up the ante with Cavalier’s Rain and Shine dresses, featuring flouncy ‘cloud’ skirts with exaggerated sun and rain appliqués at the shoulder and bodice.
And lace lovers, rejoice: we don’t know how they did it, but Cavalier’s masterful mix of peach, mint, and neon fuschia lace with colour blocked jersey and metallic rainbow slub result in clothing that is simultaneously runway and real-life ready.
