Love him or hate him Roberto Cavalli is one
of the leading and fascinating craftsmen to hail from the fashion and style
crazy land of Italy. Cavalli was born in Florence the capital city of the
Italian region of Tuscany a city also known as the city of renaissance.
The charismatic designer is well known for
his detailed exotic prints and for creating the sand-blasted look for denims
which are now a standard style for many jean manufacturers, proving that his
elegant style is influential. At age 30 he showcased his first RobertoCavalli
collection at the Salon for Pret-a-Porter in Paris and then brought his
garments to the catwalks of the Sala Bianca of Palazzo Pitti to his beloved
city of Florence.
Passion and vision allowed “the king of
print” to do works for the likes of Hermes and Pierre Cardin, and in the early
70s Cavalli opened his first boutique in St. Tropez on the French Rivera then
followed by others in Venice and a whole host of boutiques across the globe.
The Roberto Cavalli brand caters for both
Men and Women, with product categories ranging from clothing, accessories,
bags, fragrance, jewelry and watches, shoes, swimwear and Lingerie and as well
as underwear.
Being the grandson of Giuseppe Rossi who
was a member of the Macchiaioli movement whose work is exhibited in the Uffizi
Gallery must have somehow inspired Cavalli to be the kind of designer that he
is…
