Roberto Cavalli

With an uncompromising vision that incorporates a rock 'n' roll mix of prints, patchwork, leathers, fur, and denim into traditional shapes, Roberto Cavalli is a designer's designer. Born in Florence, one of the great cities of art, Cavalli caught the attention of fashion houses at an early age for his technical fabric developments, including a now-patented procedure for printing directly onto leather. Over the course of decades, he's made an empire for himself by proving that bold and busy can also look smart and classic.
