Cavallini

Emilio Cavallini (1945). Italian entrepreneur and designer, born in Tuscany. At the age of 30, after interrupting his study of economics and after gaining some experience in a factory that made stockings, he decided to start his own business making stockings, in more daring colors and with unusual and more fanciful patterns. It was not by accident that he called his company Stilnovo (New Style). Success came quickly, especially abroad. In 1987 he opened a boutique in Milan, on via della Spiga. During the 1990s he also launched a line of shoes, knitwear, and accessories.
