About Roberto Cavalli

Roberto Cavalli became renowned in the early 1970s for his glamorous designs and use of animal prints. The Italian fashion designer, who studied at the Art Institute of Florence, patented an innovative printing process on leather and denim. Cavalli’s namesake fashion brand eventually earned a celebrity following that included Madonna, Charlize Theron, Beyoncé and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Following Cavalli’s death at the age of 83 last month, Fausto Puglisi, who was named creative director of the brand in October 2020, stated: “Dear Roberto, you may not be physically here with us anymore but I know I will feel your spirit with me always. It is the greatest honor of my career to work under your legacy and to create for the brand you founded with such vision and style. Rest in peace, you will be missed and you are loved by so many that your name will continue on, a beacon of inspiration for others, and especially for me.”
