ROBERTO CAVALLI reaffirmed his status as Milan's sexiest designer, with a collection that is bound to generate some heat this winter. Incorporating his signature elaborate animal prints. Born in Florence in 1940, Cavalli has often been heralded as the natural successor to Versace, and has earned a reputation for creating the most magnificently revealing outfits for the unabashed women of the fashion glitterati. Think Cavalli, think super tight, flamboyant, animal skins and glittering jewels. And just like Versace before him, his lifestyle matches his image perfectly: he holidays with Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, and parties with Lenny Kravitz, at 62, Cavalli has no intention of stopping now.
