On the premise that ‘Our Gym’ll fix it,’ Cavallini has designed a collection for the active gym-goer

 

   While we kept our eyes on the stripes at Perry Ellis, we couldn't help but notice the bands at Emilio Cavallini. The thinly veiled connection between Cavallini's core hosiery range and his spring 2003 collection must have been evident to all but the most unfashionable. What we had here were bands wrapped around models, conveying the tightness of the collection—but also the technology that goes into Cavallini's original hosiery line-up.
   Like Perry Ellis, there was a hint of going to the past for ideas but no suggestion of being out of step with the market-place for the season. Stripes played a huge role design-wise but horizontally, Unlike Perry Ellis, however, this was not a loose-fitting collection. Instead, it was a logical extension of hosiery and bodywear principles.
   On the premise that 'Our Gym'll fix it,' as Lucire's publisher says, Cavallini has designed a collection for the active gym-goer. By the looks of it, she's in to her extreme sports and body-combat classes, with bodysuits, catsuits and separates.
