Roberto Cavalli Fall/Winter 2006 collection, shown to classical violin at the Arco della Pace in Milan, is widely considered one of his most iconic seasons: the point where his maximalism became something closer to mastery. This gown carries the collection's defining qualities: liquid-weight stretch jersey cut to the body, a completely open back, and fringe at the halter that moves independently from everything else. Beyoncé famously wore a piece from this exact collection in the "Beautiful Liar" music video the following year.
