Designer Series: Roberto Cavalli

"Fashion should be something that in the morning, when you open your window, you say, 'Oh fantastic, sun!' Then you take your shower, you say, 'OK fantastic, which colour I wear today because I feel happy?' This should be fashion". -Roberto Cavalli

Italian designer Roberto Cavalli, has always been one of my all time favorite fashion designers. Best known for his glamorous exotic prints, sexy denim and leather prints.  Cavalli not only makes women's wear, he does jewelry, fragrance, men's, items for the home, and now for kids. Roberto Cavalli also has his own lifestyle brand where he has clubs, cafe's and his own brand of vodka. Sometimes Cavalli has also been known to make jaws drop, remember the green chest plunging Cavalli dress J.Lo wore? And in recent news, Cavalli has made news being spotted with his 20 something model girlfriend wearing skimpy swimwear.

At the age of 74, Cavalli is still a driving force in the fashion world.
