ROBERTO CAVALLI DEBUTS PERFUME THAT DOUBLES AS A HANDBAG
Roberto Cavalli turned the spotlight to gold this season, unveiling ‘Serpentine’—the house’s newest fragrance—alongside its Spring/Summer 2026 show, Gold Obsession.

With notes of bergamot, saffron, jasmine, and patchouli, ‘Serpentine’ captures the same magnetic confidence as the Cavalli woman.

With Identity, Calvin Klein reinforces that authenticity, not artifice, is the new definition of style.
