Roberto Cavalli Sunglasses: Elegance in Homage to an Icon

Luxury and lots of animal print: the Roberto Cavalli hallmark

The famed Italian designer called himself "the king of animal print", and he wasn't exaggerating. It was he who set a milestone by making feline and fur prints, and even many other innovative wildlife-inspired prints, fashionable. Among Cavalli's favorite textile designs were imitations of leopards, zebras, snakes and crocodiles. Sometimes he would even combine several of them in the same outfit, creating extravagant and eclectic looks .

In his designs, Cavalli sought to highlight the sensuality of women through animal print, necklines and luxurious accessories. In addition, he used materials such as distressed denim and strategically printed leather to flatter the curves of the female body.

Roberto Cavalli's clientele included top models and celebrities such as Heidi Klum, Naomi Campbell, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Victoria Beckham and many more. For him, the key to dressing his muses was to find what made them unique and highlight it through the cuts and accessories. The result was suggestive yet sophisticated looks.

When it came to accessories, Cavalli was not afraid of excess. The Cavalli glasses glasses often have super flashy metallic details that make them look like real jewels. The frames of the Snake Collection and the Monogram Collection, for example, are already legendary. We show you the most outstanding ones below.
