Gauzy two-piece that does the Cavalli thing—air, movement, a little drama. The set pairs a long, sheer shirt with raw mother of pearl buttons and a matching scoop-neck tank, both in a semi-sheer viscose blend with textured, marbled patterning. Lightweight, easy to layer, and very Y2K Cavalli in spirit.
Era:Reads late-1990s/early-2000s Cavalli Material: 83% viscose, 17% polyamide Color: Cream/ivory base with warm yellow/brown marbling Condition: Excellent vintage condition Size: Marked m. Shirt and tank fits relaxed; set works best if you like a light, floaty layer. Notes: Made in Italy; mother of pearl buttons; softly unfinished hem.
Styling: Wear the tank under the shirt with slouchy trousers, or split them—tank with denim, shirt open over a slip or tee. Wear the tank back to front for a higher neckline like I did on the pics.
Why it made the cut: Feather-light Cavalli layering that reads Y2K without feeling costume—and it’s a true two-piece, so you get multiple outfits from one find.
Attribution note (designer era): During the late ’90s–early ’00s, Roberto Cavalli himself led the house; sheer chiffon/knit layers, devoré-style textures and warm prints were signatures of that era.
