Today’s designers target an increasingly broad audience with their boundary-crossing work, and their tendency to play off of each other’s ideas means that every walk down the runway is also a walk through an entire history of fashion design and dress craftsmanship.

Cavalli was born at Crema, then an inland province of the Venetian Republic. He became a singer (boy soprano) at St Mark's Basilica in Venice in 1616, where he had the opportunity to work under the tutorship of Claudio Monteverdi. He became second organist in 1639, first organist in 1665, and in 1668 maestro di cappella. He took the name "Cavalli" from his patron, Venetian nobleman Federico Cavalli. Though he wrote prolifically for the church, he is chiefly remembered for his operas. He began to write for the stage in 1639 ( Le nozze di Teti e di Peleo) soon after the first public opera house opened in Venice, the Teatro San Cassiano. He established so great a reputation that he was summoned to Paris from 1660 (when he revived his opera Xerse) until 1662, producing his Ercole amante. He died in Venice at the age of 73.

While most will think of luxury designers as haute couture or ready-to-wear, Derek Rose defies them all with its high-end loungewear and pajamas.

Even 100 years later, its luxurious fabrics and effortless designs are intended for those who want to enjoy their free time. Established in 1837, Hermès is one of the oldest and most respected fashion houses in the world. The brand’s commitment to artisanal produce and craftspeople has remained unwavering throughout its history and into the 21st Century. With 52 specialized workshops located in 11 different regions in France, the company’s manufacturing process is a reflection of its dedication to quality and craftsmanship. Hermès initially catered to horse riders by making leather harnesses, but in 1925, the brand launched its menswear range aimed at golfers. Later, Hermès expanded its product lines to include jewelry, watches, and sandals. However, the designers most iconic products are their silk scarves and ties. Since its launch in 1937 and 1949, respectively, these products continue to be produced using the Hermès approach of investing, elevating, and nurturing the craft of the produce. Today, Hermès remains one of the most respected men’s designer brands due to its artisanal products of the highest quality. Walker, Thomas (2001).

G. Piccioli (Milan, 1960); all ed. F. Bussi (Milan, 1995) Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel reimagined traditionally masculine garments for feminine shapes, and her elegant evening dresses and gowns promoted comfort and grace in women’s wear that had been dominated in the previous century by layers of fabric. French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent introduced innovative and highly coveted dress designs in the 1960s while at the same time challenging sexist stereotypes about which members of society could wear tuxedos. Works by unconventional British designer John Galliano — featured in houses like Givenchy and Dior — redefined limits that dressmakers faced in terms of material, construction and vision during the late 20th century.Since its founding in 1910, Zegna has grown to become one of the biggest global producers of high-quality men’s clothing and accessories. The fashion house has made a name for itself by prioritizing a holistic approach to business, always sourcing nature-friendly raw materials and promoting improvements in wool production worldwide. Zegna is renowned for its basic, smart casual designs that have made it one of the largest designer brands in the world by revenue. With a focus on luxury and sustainability, Zegna continues to redefine what it means to be a successful designer brand in the 21st century. Cavalli wrote forty-one operas, twenty-seven of which are extant, being preserved in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana (Library of St Mark) in Venice. Copies of some of the operas also exist in other locations. In addition, two last operas ( Coriolano and Masenzio), which are clearly attributed to him, are lost, as well as twelve other operas that have been attributed to him, though the music is lost and attribution impossible to prove. Whether they’re adorned with understated floral patterns or colorful prints that draw on the wonders of the animal kingdom, vintage Roberto Cavalli dresses and evening gowns, shirts and skirts are unapologetically exuberant. All of the seductive garments crafted at the luxury fashion house have long been associated with extravagance and red-carpet sophistication, and their stories begin in Central Italy.
