Renowned designer Giorgio Armani called Cavalli a “true artist” in the condolence message.
Armani in a statement release said: “I cannot imagine a vision of fashion more distant from mine than that of Roberto Cavalli, yet I have always had enormous respect for him: Roberto was a true artist, wild and wonderful in his use of prints, capable of transforming fantasy into seductive clothes. I have learnt with great sadness of his passing: his Tuscan verve will be greatly missed.”
Born in Florence, Italy, Cavalli became renowned for his unique vision with textile printing and patchwork. His animal-print fabrics in the glamorous and bohemian outfits quickly captivated the eyes of fashion aficionados.
