Apart from fashion, he ventured into real estate and owned the popular “Just Cavalli Cafe” in Milan. Despite differing approaches to fashion, Giorgio Armani acknowledged Cavalli’s artistic flair and transformative use of prints.

Notable for dressing stars like Cindy Crawford, Cavalli’s impact transcends his passing, as reflected in tributes from colleagues like creative director Fausto Puglisi. The Florence-based fashion group, now owned by Auriel Investment SA, will bid farewell to Cavalli in a funeral ceremony scheduled for Monday in Florence.
