Fashion Designer Roberto Cavalli Dead at 83

Italian fashion designer Roberto Cavalli died April 12 at home in Florence, Italy. The fashion house confirmed the news on Instagram.

In the caption of the Instagram post, Fausto Puglisi, creative director at Roberto Cavalli, shared his own tribute to the late fashion industry icon. His penchant for everything over-the-top made his style perfect for the locale, but according to The New York Times, Cavalli largely remained only known in Europe and had yet to hit it big worldwide. Celebrity fans like Victoria Beckham and Beyoncé also famously wore his designs in the early '00s and many A-listers continue to wear pieces from the house of Cavalli.
