Roberto Cavalli

Italian, 1940-2024

Whether they’re adorned with understated floral patterns or colorful prints that draw on the wonders of the animal kingdom, vintage Roberto Cavalli dresses and evening gowns, shirts and skirts are unapologetically exuberant. All of the seductive garments crafted at the luxury fashion house have long been associated with extravagance and red-carpet sophistication, and their stories begin in Central Italy.

Roberto Cavalli was born in Florence, Tuscany, in 1940 into an already artistically rich family — his mother was a tailor, and his grandfather, Giuseppe Rossi, was a member of an Italian art movement called Macchiaioli that shared common ground with Impressionist painters. Cavalli was creative at the onset and focused on textiles at the Florence Academy of Art. He garnered some high-profile attention with bold prints on knitwear.

After he patented an experimental and revolutionary process that saw him printing on lightweight leather, Cavalli secured commissions from major fashion houses such as Hermès and Pierre Cardin. He explored integrating handmade ornamentation in his designs and found limitless inspiration in the majestic creatures of the jungle.

In the early 1970s Cavalli unveiled his first namesake collection in Paris and the Sala Bianca of Palazzo Pitti in Florence. He then opened his inaugural boutique in France’s Saint-Tropez in 1972. While the designer’s printed denim offerings were deemed unsophisticated by the day’s couturiers — they looked down upon the material — Cavalli’s form-fitting, sensual cuts, innovative patchwork and obvious dedication to impeccable craftsmanship found admirers in the likes of Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot.

In 1980 Cavalli married former beauty pageant contestant Eva Düringer, who became his trusted business partner. Now a signature of the label, the pair introduced their first sand-blasted jeans in 1994 and later opened boutiques in Venice and elsewhere.

Cavalli’s designs sold all over the world, and the brand’s success helped pave the way for the introduction of a line called Just Cavalli that targeted younger consumers and RC Menswear to complement the array of day dresses, shoes, lingerie and coats and outerwear that were offered in his popular boutiques.

In 2005 Cavalli was asked to help reinvigorate Playboy’s iconic bunny costumes and, in 2006, model Kate Moss starred in his spring/summer ad campaign. A year later, Cavalli created an exclusive collection for H&M and designed costuming for Jennifer Lopez concerts as well as the Spice Girls.

Sicilian designer Fausto Puglisi was appointed creative consultant in 2020 at the Roberto Cavalli brand, which is now owned by Vision Investments.

    The difference between Just Cavalli and Cavalli is that one is the name of an overall fashion house, and the other is a line. Cavalli is the abbreviated name of the luxury Italian fashion house Roberto Cavalli, which designer Roberto Cavalli founded in 1970. In 2000, the company launched the Just Cavalli diffusion line to offer more accessibly priced pieces aimed at a younger audience.

    How you can tell if a Roberto Cavalli is real depends on what type of piece you're trying to authenticate. Generally, everything that the Italian luxury fashion maker produces, from apparel to watches, will feature its logo or hallmark. As a result, comparing the branding on your piece to images shared by trusted online resources can be a good starting point. From there, research what else to look for to determine the authenticity of your particular type of item. Alternatively, you can seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. Find a range of Roberto Cavalli apparel, jewelry and accessories on 1stDibs.

    In the early 1970s the Tuscan designer unveiled his first namesake collection in Paris and the Sala Bianca of Palazzo Pitti in Florence.

    No, Cavalli Class isn't exactly the same as Roberto Cavalli. The latter is the name of the Italian luxury fashion house that Roberto Cavalli founded in 1975.

    The difference between Roberto Cavalli and Just Cavalli watches pertains to the accessories’ prices at retail. The former is the name of the Italian luxury fashion house that designer Roberto Cavalli founded in 1975. Under the Roberto Cavalli label, the house offers a collection of luxury clothing, accessories, shoes and leather goods. The success of the main collection helped pave the way for the introduction of a less expensive diffusion line called Just Cavalli in 1998 that targeted younger consumers. The latter’s watches are offered at more accessible price points than those marketed under the Roberto Cavalli name.
