Italian fashion designer Roberto Cavalli died at the age of 83

Roberto Cavalli died this Friday April 12, 2024 after a long illness. He was a jet-set designer, a lover of python and fancy prints. Born on November 15, 1940 in Florence, the leather goods capital of the world, he died in this same city, his own city, at the age of 83.

Underline the shapes

A star favorite for decades, from Brigitte Bardot or Sophia Loren in the 70s to Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez in the 2020s, she has created dresses that reveal the skin and shapes of her muses, which she has sublimated.

Lover of cars and cigars

In its tribute to the designer, AFP describes Roberto Cavalli as a man who loved “Ferraris, big cigars and tight shirts on a wide-open, perpetually tanned torso.” She lived the good life, married to a Miss Universe finalist, the darling of Hollywood’s elite, and the owner of a vineyard in Tuscany that she flew over in her purple helicopter.
