The story of the man who revolutionised Italian fashion
First years: innate creativity
Roberto Cavalli was born in Florence on November 15, 1940. From a young age, Roberto had a real passion for aesthetics which was a precious inheritance from his ancestors. His grandfather, an impressionist painter, and his mother, a master tailor, wove the first threads of his extraordinary future.
Within the walls of the Academy of Art in Florence, in 1957, Roberto Cavalli discovered the magic of the connection between textiles and creativity. From the moment his hands touched fabrics, he understood that fashion was the perfect tool to express his talent. That's when his journey began, transforming his name into the symbol of a sensual and provocative style.
Sixties: the revolution begins
Enthusiasm leads Roberto Cavalli to found a small fabric printing workshop. Here, he introduces an innovative printing technique on ready-made knitwear garments. This bold act, in a decade of profound social and cultural changes, marks the beginning of an iconic aesthetic that will redefine the concept of luxury and timeless style.
Seventies: distinctive signs
In the 1970s, Roberto Cavalli delves into experimentation with materials, with a focus on leather. In 1970, he makes his Parisian debut with the first collection, which features distinctive leather patchwork, and introduces the innovative use of this technique on jeans. In 1972, he presents the Roberto Cavalli Women's Collection in Italy at the Sala Bianca of Palazzo Pitti.
