Legendary sexy underwear and fashion designer Roberto Cavalli is dead to me aged 83

Was he really “legendary ?”

He had some hot vodka but he couldn’t live forever.

If he looked like this 11 years ago, I can only imagine what he looked like at the end.

All those spaghetti stripes!

Very. Madonna is still wearing his stuff.

He seemed nice when he was a guest judge on Project Runway years ago. Much more down to earth than a lot of high end fashion folks.

r5 Indeed. He may not be as well known as Calvin Klein and Giorgio Armani but he's far from a nobody in fashion.

He made exquisitely embroidered t-shirts before Shit-Head Ed Hardy came along. The cotton was better than that of James Perse. The cut of the sleeves raised it from skank to skanque. I felt so klassy.

Who ?

To be clear,

He was a designer of sexy underwear.

Not a sexy designer of underwear.

r10 lol fair point but he was a bit of a dilf at times!

Armani posts tribute

He looks like he smells

Damning with faint praise.

r14 Did they not get on?

Eh, he looka like-a some-a kinda gangsta, no?

r16 I wouldnt quite go that far although admittely Giorgio Armani is to my eye much sexier.

He was a legendary in Florence. Started out selling jeans at a table at Florence's daily outdoor market and from there built his fashion business. He kept his design offices in Florence.

I owned a few of his long-sleeved, slim-fit, tapered dress shirts back in the day ... when we dressed for work.

They were always a good fit for me and high quality.

He looks a little bit like old Tony Danza at OP.
