Was Roberto Cavalli a designer?
1 Answer
Yes, Roberto Cavalli was a fashion designer known for dazzling animal prints and bold glamour.
In the early 1970s Cavalli (1940–2024) unveiled his first namesake collection in Paris and the Sala Bianca of Palazzo Pitti in Florence. He then opened his inaugural boutique in France’s Saint-Tropez in 1972. While the designer’s printed denim offerings were deemed unsophisticated by the day’s couturiers (they looked down upon the material), Cavalli’s form-fitting, sensual cuts, innovative patchwork and obvious dedication to impeccable craftsmanship found admirers in the likes of Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot.
