Capricious, eclectic, and original from the beginning, Roberto Cavalli began his career when he was very young. While still a student, he, along with a friend (just for fun on a ping-pong table), conceived the first of many revolutionary creations: a process of printing on lightweight leather, which he was able to do thanks to his meticulous research of fabrics and continual experimenting with new technologies. Over the next ten, years he created, almost by chance, what was to become a “must” for the beat generation: Sewing together off pieces of leather, he invented the first of his patchworks which were a huge success and can honestly be considered true classics. At the beginning of the nineties, the designer re-launched his challenge to the fashion system, assisted by his beautiful wife, Eva Duringer, an ex-Miss Universe who works alongside him.
