Founded in Florence in 1970 by Roberto Cavalli, a designer trained in textile printing, the brand became a symbol of Italian glamour and maximalism. Cavalli built his name on a bold, unapologetic aesthetic, pioneering techniques like printing on leather and creating sand-blasted and stretch denim. The house is defined by its use of vibrant color, exotic animal prints, and a sensual, body-celebrating approach to design that attracted a celebrity following including Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé. The brand's signature is a rock-and-roll sensibility married with bohemian jet-set glamour, expressed through flowing gowns, decorated denim, and intricate patchworks.
