He began his career at only 21 with the techniques he used during school and by accident discovered the art of painting women's skin, and this is before anyone had done this, the women who summered in St. Tropes and Capri adored this.  Italian Vogue took notice of young Cavalli and he later ventured out into his career to create many more items loved by all women, because of the signature animal prints combined with vibrant colors, and precious metals made women all over crave the clothing he created.

His first boutique was opened in St. Tropez in 1972, it was here that he achieved much notice from the well known celebrities of that era.  He started designing jeans in 1994 and in 1999 he opened a store on Madison Avenue in New York City that helped build the momentum that helped him get where he is today. Never one to limit himself his line now produces, woman's wear, men's wear, sunglasses, shoes, and even beachwear.
