Roberto Cavalli's new autumn/winter 2008-9 campaign will be fronted by Angela Lindvall, Raquel Zimmerman, Frankie Rayder and Isabeli Fontana.

The four models, who are replacing Kate Moss for this season, are featured in a campaign that is inspired by a film called “Il Gattopardo”, which stars screen legend Burt Lancaster and Claudia Cardinale.

"I've always been aesthetically fascinated by this film. I also find Il Gattopardo, a story is based on the idea that 'the more it changes, the more it stays the same,' a good metaphor for fashion," Cavalli tells WWD.

"In the campaign, the heroine - a sort of new Angelica - Cardinale in the movie - dances in the wilderness while a fire rages in the background, she represents the force of everything that is new, yet in the end she's dresses like a romantic debutante. I find this idea, the contrast of old and new, to be very modern and thought provoking," he adds.

Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh shot the campaign in Los Angeles.
