Roberto Cavalli History
Robert Cavalli was born in Florence, Italy on 15th November 1940.
He was very much destined for an artistic career.
As the son of a tailor, he was exposed to the elementary fundamentals of design and sewing; skills he would carry from childhood to the title of coveted designer.
Roberto Cavalli's grandfather, Giuseppe Rossi, was an impressionist painter with pristine works that remain in the halls of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
Roberto Cavalli was attending the Academy of Art, he realized a unique, gifted ability as a painter, and he began to experiment with unusual fabrics and designs while continuing his studies at the Academy.
Cavalli invented the process of printing onto lightweight leather; a process he would later patent.
Through the combination of lightweight leather and paints, Cavalli created a new frontier of fashion.
In 1972 Roberto Cavalli was presenting his first fashion Collection in his hometown Florence.
Unfortunately his first public presentation would not be received with the bliss and glamour as other well known designers.
But Cavalli believed his fashions were outstanding contributions to the world of fashion and continued his persistence to become one of fashion's elite
and prominent designers. With the support of his wife Eva Duringer Robert Cavalli became successful and throw his work onto the world stage.
Today, Roberto Cavalli is known for using wild animal prints and sexualized cuts in his design,
leading to comparisons with designer Gianni Versace and his popularity with many young celebrities, such as ex-Spice Girl Victoria Beckham,
with whom he famously signed an exclusive dressing contract.
He owns several houses and villas and is married to a former Miss Universe runner-up, Eva Duringer of Austria, with whom he has had three children.
Many of his runway collections are inspired by items in his homes.
Cavalli aroused controversy in 2006 as the first designer to quickly publicly announce that he wanted Kate Moss as the face of his spring 2006 collection very soon after her infamous drug scandal broke.
Moss had already been the spokes model for Cavalli's spring 2005 campaign a year earlier.
