Clothing designer Roberto Cavalli is considered by many to be the new Gianni Versace because of his use of sexy cuts and wild prints in his clothing designs.  He is very popular with rock stars and young movie stars.  His clothes are known for their animal prints and crystal/rhinestone edging.

Cavalli was the first designer to figure out how to print on leather, changing rock star fashion overnight and making himself famous the world over.

Roberto Cavalli Sunglasses are known for this rock star image, using provocative and risk-taking designs.

Celebrities known to favor his sunglasses include Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Madonna, Britney Spears, Alicia Keys, Lenny Kravitz, Bono, Mischa Barton, Cindy Crawford, Sting, Jennifer Lopez and David Beckham.

Marcolin makes designer eyewear under its own Marcolin brands and through licensed brands such as Kenneth Cole (U.S. market only), Miss Sixty, Roberto Cavalli, and Timberland.  Its Cébé subsidiary in France produces eyewear for athletes.

Marcolin sells its products in more than 50,000 outlets in 80 countries.  Founded in 1961, Marcolin is still controlled by the Marcolin family, but brothers Andrea and Diego Della Valle now own more than 40% of it.
