Roberto Cavalli

More about the book

Roberto Cavalli creates with the eye of an artist and the touch of an expert craftsman. His designs are completely original. An audacious master of patterns, he specializes in startling juxtapositions of materials, textures and patinas and metallurgy, zebra skins and Op Art, leopard spots and giant flowers, embellished leathers and embroidered jeans, all reproduced in a vibrant technicolor rainbow. An entire coterie of artists and celebrities, from Madonna to Lenny Kravitz, has adopted his doctrine of glamour, making Cavalli's name synonymous with pop baroque, young decadence and sensual allure.
