About Roberto Cavalli: Roberto Cavalli is an Italian fashion designer from Florence. He is known for exotic prints and for creating the sand-blasted look for jeans. He is the father of fashion designer Daniele Cavalli (b. 1986).
I love women in all their different incarnations. My friends are practically all women. They are much more intelligent than men.
I think I was the first to show that a designer could be like a rock star, that people should love your fashion but also put your name together with your fashion.
Fashion should be something that in the morning, when you open your window, you say, 'Oh fantastic, sun!' Then you take your shower, you say, 'OK fantastic, which colour I wear today because I feel happy?' This should be fashion.
In the evening every man looks the same. Like penguins. Women have a special dress for that event; men, the same tuxedo.
There is a real vulgarity in the way women dress at the moment. They show off too much and try too hard. They don't understand where the line is between sexy and vulgar. I know where that line is.
