Roberto Cavalli's designs were often a mix of zebra, giraffe, leopard, lynx, tiger stripes, and leopard spots, conveying excess, sex, and aspiration from his own imagination.
Cavalli filled the fashion void left by Gianni Versace's death, reaching mass appeal as an alternative to minimalist trends in the late '90s, embraced by celebrities like Paris Hilton and Victoria Beckham.
Despite criticism from groups like PETA and reservations from major fashion magazines, celebrities embraced Roberto Cavalli's flamboyant style, attending his shows and gathering at his estate outside Florence.
