With a Spring/Summer 2014 collection entitled 'The Projection of a Dream', the Italian fashion house paid homage to the cinema with a film-set setting complete with spotlights and giant cameras to showcase their latest offerings. Models were dressed as film stars in a dazzling array of 1920s-style flapper dresses and fur stoles thrown over their shoulders. They walked the catwalk to a soundtrack of classic MGM music.

"Welcome to my movie set!" a sunglasses-clad Roberto announced at the start of the show.

In true Cavalli style, the flapper dresses came with added sex appeal – the beaded dresses features cut-out panels and low backs, while the chiffon was snakeskin and thigh-length. A monochromatic colour palette dominated, with whites, blacks and shimmering silvers.

Sequins, beads and tassels vamped up the looks. And though the collection is for summer, the designer finished many looks with colored fur stoles draped over one shoulder, recalling the heydays of Hollywood.

The show wrapped with some after-Oscar party looks, including a rock-and-roll silver leather jacket worn over a lacy metallic top and silver-beaded trousers.
