Cavali leaves a huge void in fashion, even though in 2015 he sold the company of the same name, which was founded in the 1970s. His animaliers had become a signature element of the brand, as well as embroidered furs, long voluminous dresses with large slits and many slides. In the 2000s, the Roberto Cavalli Home department was born, which was presented at the Salone del Mobile in 2012.
The 83-year-old, who is worth more than $500 million, has previously spoken about his difficult childhood, following a rough upbringing following the murder of his father, which he said left him mute until he was 18. “I was a surveyor, working in a mine in Valdarno. I didn’t speak until I was 18. But life was kind to me and rewarded me for everything.”
In the early 1970s, he invented and patented a process of printing on leather and began creating patchworks from different materials. He debuted these techniques in Paris, immediately receiving commissions from companies such as Hermès and Pierre Cardin.

At the age of 32, he presented his first eponymous collection at the Salon for Prêt-à-Porter in Paris. He took it to the catwalks of the Sala Bianca of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence and later to those of the Milano Collezioni. He then opened his first boutique in 1972 in Saint-Tropez.
On March 8, 2023, it was announced that Cavali had fathered his sixth child at the age of 82, from his relationship with Sandra Nilsson. The child was named Giorgio in honor and memory of his father, who was executed by the Nazis in the massacre of Cabrilla in 1944.
