The Designer

In the early '70s Cavalli developed his own technique for printing onto leather and suede, and drew commissions from Hermès and Pierre Cardin. By 1972 he was showing in the Sala Bianca of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence. The animal prints and red carpets of 1990s Cavalli later overshadowed this first chapter.
