Roberto Cavalli: a life in pictures

Cavalli lived a very luxurious life. He owned racehorses, Ferraris, a helicopter, a huge yacht named 'Freedom', and a collection of animals such as parrots, iguanas, a Persian cat named 'Pussy', and even had a monkey and a tiger on his estate at one point. The photograph shows Cavalli just before the beginning of his fashion show for the spring and summer of 2008 in Milan.
