Paul Surridge, an understated modernist, has taken the reins at Roberto Cavalli. As Andrea Lee discovers, the results are anything but tame.
The defining gaze, of course, was that of Roberto Cavalli, the Florentine designer who liked to refer to himself an “artist of fashion.” An adventurer and bon vivant, Cavalli, 77, was in many ways fashion’s answer to Hugh Hefner. His Latin lover image—permatanned, sunglassed, shirt open to the waist, cavorting on yachts with a succession of international beauties—was central to the brand he built in his name. The anecdotes about his antics are legion. In 1977, he was asked to judge a Miss Universe competition and ended up marrying the first runnerup, Eva Duringer. Then there was his tiff with Michael Jackson over a certain sequined jacket.
