Agenda-setting intelligence, analysis and advice for the global fashion community.
A coincidence? Perhaps not. The artists and their lawyers suggest that the Cavalli designers knew exactly what they were doing here: "If the literal misappropriation was not bad enough, Cavalli sometimes chose to do its own painting, superimposing the Just Cavalli name in spray-paint style as if were part of the original work, […] creating the false impression that Roberto Cavalli himself was the artist." After getting wind of the lawsuit, Roberto Cavalli released a statement denying the allegations: "We have heard of some highly inflammatory allegations, which have no basis in fact and are incorrect; we intend to contest and defend against these allegations vigorously."
