ROME — Italian fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, known for a flamboyant, glamorous style and textile innovations, has died at age 83, his company announced Friday. 'Dear Roberto, you may not be physically here with us anymore but I know I will feel your spirit with me always,' Fausto Puglisi, creative director at Roberto Cavalli since October 2020, wrote in an Instagram post.
Rest in peace, you will be missed and you are loved by so many that your name will continue on, a beacon of inspiration for others, and especially for me,' Puglisi added. Born in Florence on Nov. 15, 1940, from a family of artists, Cavalli was orphaned of his father at just four years old, as he was killed in a Nazi roundup known as the Cavriglia massacre in 1944.
He told The Associated Press in an interview that the woman he dressed was 'a woman who believes a lot in herself. A woman who can show she is strong but at the same time soft and romantic.' Cavalli is survived by model Sandra Nilsson, who has been his partner since 2014, and six children. He became the father of his sixth child at the age of 82.
