Roberto Cavalli

Roberto Cavalli is an Italian luxury fashion company founded by designer Roberto Cavalli in Osmannoro, Florence, during the 1970s. Known worldwide for its glamour and animalier prints on leather and textiles, the label is in charge of manufacturing and marketing haute couture, ready-to-wear, and accessories, including handbags, eyewear, watches, shoes, perfumes and jewellery. The company also develops interior design projects for high-end buildings and hotels.

In 2015, the Italian investment fund Clessidra SGR acquired a 90 percent stake in Roberto Cavalli to relaunch the company. Under the lead of CEO Gian Giacomo Ferraris and a new creative director, Paul Surridge the Florentine fashion maison is now taking off in a new direction.
