Roberto Cavalli Sunglasses

Roberto Cavalli was born in 1940 in Florence. Creativity was running through his veins from birth, with his master painter grandfather being a member of the Macchiaioli movement. As a teen, young Cavalli decided to in role at the local art institute, concentrating on textile print. While still a student, he made a series of flower prints on knit that caught the attention of major Italian hosiery factories.

The 70s put Cavalli on the map with his creation of a patented print method to use on leather, developing this into a patchworks of different materials that subsequently got him notice by the like of Hermes and Pierre Cardin, who commissioned him to create designs for the fashion houses. At age 30, Cavalli presented his own collection, under Roberto Cavalli. Showing at numerous premium catwalks and events across Europe, Cavalli was received well, resulting in his first boutique being opened in Saint-Tropez. Acquiring his first celebrity fan, 70s sex kitten, Bridget Bardot wore Cavalli’s designs on the beach of Saint Tropez, resulting in the designer being hot property and greatly in demand by the rich socialites who holidayed there.

In 1994, using his innovative methods, Cavalli shook up the denim industry with the first pair of sand blasted jeans. This method has now become a look that’s used in the majority of denim brands and their collections, worldwide.

Cavalli’s flamboyant aesthetic is stamped across the brand's beachwear, footwear and accessories, especially his billowing silk gowns and body-con dresses that boast the iconic, larger-than-life Roberto Cavalli prints. With a huge celebrity fan base, Cavalli has worked with a plethora of A-list lovelies that include, Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, Milla Jovich, and Jennifer Lopez-who can forget that Roberto Cavalli slit to the navel, jungle print dress she wore.
