Roberto Cavalli is set to publish an autobiography this October, telling Vogue, ‘in a few months, you will know everything’, and promising that it will ‘talk about me and my life’ rather than focus on his achievements in fashion. 

The outspoken designer, who recently lashed out at Giorgio Armani, calling him a ‘little king’, is as flamboyant with words as he is with colour and animal print on the catwalk, so we don’t doubt that he will drop countless verbal bombshells in his forthcoming memoir. 

Can’t wait until the autumn to hear Cavalli dish the dirt, or at least get lavish with hyperbole? Click the gallery for some of the most memorable times he’s already mouthed off.
