Icon dead – With heavy hearts, we announce the passing…

Roberto Cavalli, the celebrated Italian fashion designer known for his extravagant style, has passed away at 83 at his Florence home, following a long illness that had recently deteriorated, according to the Italian news agency ANSA.

Cavalli’s career, which began in the 1970s, was marked by his signature animal prints and use of vibrant colors.
His work was adored by the likes of Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, and Taylor Swift. In 2010, he was photographed with Jennifer Lopez, who turned heads in one of his leopard-print dresses at the World Music Awards.

The designer’s brand, known for luxury clothing, handbags, shoes, and perfumes, expressed their grief on Instagram, celebrating Cavalli’s lasting influence and inspiration. “It is with great sadness that today we say our final goodbyes to our founder Roberto Cavalli,” the company’s post read.

Fausto Puglisi, the creative director since October 2020, shared his heartfelt sorrow and admiration, highlighting Cavalli’s enduring impact on fashion. “Dear Roberto, you may not be physically here with us anymore but I know I will feel your spirit with me always,” he wrote in a social media post. “Your name will continue on, a beacon of inspiration for others, and especially for me.”

Global tributes have poured in. Brazilian model Adriana Lima called Cavalli a “legend,” while former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham referred to him as an “icon,” sharing a poignant photo on her Instagram stories. Florence’s mayor, Dario Nardella, also paid tribute, acknowledging Cavalli’s major contributions to Italian fashion and his strong ties to the city.

Cavalli’s creative use of vibrant colors, patchwork techniques, and animal prints, combined with his signature tinted glasses and cigar, made his fashion statements bold and memorable. From his early innovations with leather and denim to his global acclaim in high-end denim, Cavalli’s impact on fashion remains unmatched. His funeral took place in Florence, as the world said goodbye to a true fashion pioneer.
