Just who is the King of Opulence? All weekend long, FashionTV will be answering that question in a new program called Spotlight On, which takes viewers beyond the clothes and into the life of some of our most favorite designers and labels.

From his first collection to his latest, from his Roberto Cavalli, Just Cavalli Roberto Cavalli Men, and Roberto Cavalli Home collections, FashionTV has everything you need to know about the King of Opulence: Roberto Cavalli.

Roberto Cavalli is famed for his flamboyant, rock, and animal print collections. As a young boy, he was fascinated by textiles and prints, which later transcended to his studies. When he was a fashion student, Cavalli designed a series of flower prints on knit, which brought him a lot of attention.

In the early 1970s, Cavalli created a new and innovative way to print on leather and began using his technique on different materials. He presented his first collection in 1970, and virtually hasn’t stopped since. Cavalli opened his first boutique in Saint-Tropez, in 1972, which started the fashion empire that we recognise today; retailing in more than 50 countries worldwide. The Cavalli signature is his use of animal print – especially leopard.

We’ve included two videos out of the many we will be airing all weekend long to get you excited for what’s to come!
