A little background on Roberto Cavalli.

Roberto Cavalli creates with the eye of an artist and the touch if an expert craftsman. His designs are completely original. An audacious master of patterns, he specializes in startling juxtapositions if materials, textures and themes: 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.

Cavalli"s success-there are those who consider him a cult figure-reflects the spirit of our times and our fascination with all that is unique.
