Roberto Cavalli lovers can now look forward to getting their pets dressed in true Cavalli style with the designer’s expanded collection of pooch couture. The acclaimed designer is well known for his love of the animal kingdom, with a penchant for jungle prints, so the extended line is a tribute to the canines. “Roberto and I have always loved animals; we have so many of them around the house,” wife Eva Cavalli said in a recent interview with W Magazine. “It came as a natural conclusion, therefore, to bring a bit of our style to the canine universe.” The collection designed for small and medium-size dogs includes satin-trimmed doggy bathrobes, printed silk shorts, shearling jackets, velour tracksuits and accessories like quilted dog carriers, patent-leather collars and leashes. The line is priced from $110 for a T-shirt to $1,200 for a patent-leather quilted carrier. So, Cavalli fans have nothing to fear despite the Milan fashion show being canceled. The designer will launch the collection for autumn/winter 2009/10.
