The new Roberto Cavalli Underwear ad campaign will star Elisabetta Canalis, the 31-year-old girlfriend of George Clooney.

Shot in a nineteenth-century private house filled with gilded mirrors, baroque upholstery, the resulting campaign is pure Cavalli; sexy, decadent and feminine.

Draped on a Louis XVI style velvet sofa, Elisabetta gives the camera a sultry stare sporting mussed-up hair, smudgy black eyes and a set of leopard print Roberto Cavalli lingerie.

Elisabetta said, “It was a great pleasure and huge privilege to work for Roberto and artistic director Eva Cavalli”.

The Cavalli brand has always been synonymous with the made in Italy excellence and known all over the world.”

“For my underwear collection I was inspired by a real woman, with appeal, charisma and sensuality. Elisabetta’s Mediterranean beauty and intense appeal interpret an intriguing super-feminine woman.

She was just perfect for enhancing the spirit of this advertising campaign” comments Roberto Cavalli.

The campaign was shot in London in November 2009 by Mert&Marcus.
