MILAN, Oct 15, 2003/ FW/ --- Florentine-born Roberto Cavalli is the grandson of Giuseppe Rossi, the illustratious Florentine impressionist painter.
Though he followed family tradition and went to the Arts, he also decided to make his own name in fashion, using his inborn talent to create clothes.
Known for his work in leather, Roberto Cavalli is a master craftsman who has also mastered the technique of using leather both as a fabric and for use in accessories.
He is also inventive designer, whose skill is revamping classics rather than offering new silhouettes.
Cavalli's great strength is making wild, erotic clothes that push sensuality to the limit without becoming lewd.
That talent has won him a hoard of well-heeled admirers who want to look hot without looking indecent.
His women have an erotic, almost feral quality symbolized this season by their soft, suede cave-girl boots, Indian feather earrings and necklaces, and belts covered in tortoise shell and mother-of-pearl objects.
In 2002, Roberto Cavalli won Fashion Group International's 'Provacateur Award'.
