Roberto Cavalli, born on November 15, 1940, in Florence, Italy, is a renowned fashion designer known for his exotic prints and a flamboyant style that is synonymous with a sense of glamour and luxury. His work has often been marked by technological innovation and a strong artistic flair, which has significantly influenced contemporary fashion.
Early Life and Education Roberto Cavalli was born into an artistic family—his grandfather, Giuseppe Rossi, was a member of the Macchiaioli Movement, an Italian impressionist school that influenced his own artistic inclinations. Cavalli studied at the Academy of Art in Florence, where he specialized in textile print. This background in art and textiles laid the foundation for his innovative approaches to fashion design, particularly his pioneering work with leather printing.
Career Beginnings Cavalli's career began in the 1960s when he started creating patchworks of different materials. These he sold to high-end hosiery factories, which was a unique concept at the time. His breakthrough came in the early 1970s when he patented a revolutionary printing procedure on leather. This technique allowed him to create unique floral blouses and patchwork materials, which caught the eye of major Italian hosiery factories.
Rise to Fame His debut at the Salon for Prêt-à-Porter in Paris was a significant success, leading to the opening of his own boutique in Saint-Tropez. Cavalli became popular for his exotic prints, which often featured wild animal motifs, a theme that would become a signature of his brand. His designs were particularly favored for their sexy cuts and wild prints, which resonated with the disco culture of the 1970s.
Brand Expansion Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Cavalli expanded his offerings to include not just clothing but a lifestyle brand that encompassed accessories, eyewear, watches, perfumes, and even a line of premium vodka. His flamboyant style continued to evolve, incorporating baroque and animal prints, and he became particularly noted for his sand-blasted look for jeans, which was a major trend in the late 1990s.
Celebrity Following Cavalli's designs have been worn by high-profile celebrities, including Madonna, who wore his creations for her 2004 Re-Invention World Tour, and Beyoncé, who was the face of his brand in 2007. His ability to blend high glamour with rock-n-roll attitude made his clothes a favorite among celebrities.
Personal Life and Legacy Cavalli has been married twice and has five children. His personal life, much like his fashion, has been colorful and filled with artistic and bohemian influences. In 1994, he married Eva Duringer, who has been an integral part of his life and work, serving as a muse and sometimes as a business partner.
Roberto Cavalli's contribution to fashion is not just in his bold prints and sensual designs but also in his pioneering techniques in textile production. His work with leather and his development of printing techniques have been innovative in the fashion industry. He officially stepped down from his position in 2015, selling his brand to an Italian private equity firm, though he remains an active figure in the world of fashion.
These days, the Roberto Cavalli brand stands as a symbol of luxurious excess and dramatic flair, enduring as a major influence in the world of fashion design. His legacy is one of innovation, passion, and an unyielding commitment to beauty and artistry in fashion. Fashion Innovations Roberto Cavalli is credited with introducing the world to sand-blasted jeans, a technique that gives denim a worn, faded look that became hugely popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. His approach to leather and textile printing was revolutionary; he developed a method for printing on lightweight leather, which was previously thought impossible. This innovation allowed for more elaborate and detailed designs on leather garments, expanding the possibilities within leather fashion. Design Philosophy Cavalli's design philosophy often merged the artistic with the hedonistic. He was known for his thematic collections that took inspiration from various cultures and eras, infusing them with a modern sensuality that appealed to a bold and confident clientele. His work often featured ornate detailing, metallic elements, and a strong focus on feminine forms. He is widely recognized for his detailed animal prints, which have become synonymous with his name. These prints are not just simple patterns but are often highly artistic reinterpretations of animal skins rendered through complex fabric treatments. Influence and Cultural Impact Cavalli's designs reflected and influenced the glamorous lifestyle of his customers. His clothes appeared frequently on red carpets and in fashion editorials, celebrated for their flamboyant spirit and unapologetic glamour. Beyond the disco-infused 1970s, his work in the 2000s resonated with the pop and celebrity culture, aligning with the era's fascination with status and display. Business Expansion and Challenges Under Roberto Cavalli's creative direction, the brand expanded into interiors with the Roberto Cavalli Home collection, offering a range of furniture, wallpaper, and home accessories that reflected his ornate design sensibilities. However, the expansion was not without its challenges. The early 2000s were a tumultuous time for the brand, with financial instabilities and shifts in consumer behavior affecting its performance. Despite these challenges, Cavalli's brand remained a staple on the fashion scene, symbolizing luxury and excess. Later Years and Retirement As Cavalli grew older, he began to take a step back from the day-to-day operations of his brand. In 2014, he sold 90% of his company to Clessidra SGR, an Italian private equity firm. This was part of a broader trend where many independent luxury brands sought financial backing to expand and stabilize in a rapidly changing global market. Cavalli continued to influence the brand until his formal departure in 2015, which marked a significant end of an era for the label. Legacy Roberto Cavalli's legacy is characterized by his transformative impact on both textile technology and high fashion. He democratized certain aspects of luxury fashion, making bold and glamorous styles accessible and desirable to a broader audience. His commitment to innovation not only in patterns and designs but also in production techniques has left a lasting mark on the fashion industry. His personal and professional life exemplified a blend of artistic creativity and savvy business acumen, making him a pivotal figure in the world of luxury fashion. His retirement did not mark the end of his influence; instead, it solidified his status as a pioneering designer whose work continues to inspire and resonate within the fashion community.

Welcome to The Singers Talk podcast based on my book of the same name. I’m Jason Thomas Gordon (singer/drummer of the Los Angeles rock band Kingsize), and when I first started singing for my band, I couldn’t believe there was no resource to find out how singers do this brutal job night after night. For something that seems easy, it can be truly dangerous, often embarrassing, and when you’re lucky… absolutely glorious.
So, this is me, reaching out to some of the greatest, most iconic singers of our time, discussing the one the thing they’re never asked about: their voices! Never thinking this was going to be a podcast, most of the interviews you’re going to hear are the intimate, unedited conversations, as I write the actual book…
If you’re a music fan, you’ll get a backstage look at how your favorite vocalists approach what they do onstage and in the studio. Packed with amazing stories you’ve never heard before, you’ll also find vulnerable sides of their personalities you might never have expected.
And if you’re a singer, trying to train, help, heal, or even find your voice — you’ll learn how the best in their field keep their vocal cords in shape, how they protect themselves on the road, and countless other tricks, strategies, and philosophies…
Not a technical podcast in any way, The Singers Talk celebrates the people who stand up in front of that mic, reach down into their guts, and give everything they’ve got for the sake of the song. Sometimes it’s bloody. And sometimes it’s bloody hilarious. -

First published in 1925, Bertrand Russell’s ABC of Relativity was considered a masterwork of its time, contributing significantly to the mass popularisation of science. Authoritative and accessible, it provides a remarkable introductory guide to Einstein’s theory of Relativity to a general readership. One of the most definitive reference guides of its kind, and written by one of the twentieth century’s most influential philosophers, ABC of Relativity continues to be as relevant today as it was on first publication.
