Robert Cavalli 2015

Norwegian-American fashion designer Peter Dundas previously departed from Emilio Pucci and had landed with the fashion print house set up by Roberto Cavalli.

According to a recent article at Vogue.com, “Cavalli is synonymous with freedom for me. I want the brand to have an independence in fashion, both in what it is and who represents it,” he offers. “I don’t want the Cavalli girl to be just one kind of woman.”  Peter Dundas has chosen Kim Kardashian as his muse for the brand (one muse of possibly many).

The Peter Dundas move from Emilio Pucci to Roberto Cavalli is more of a return than a new beginning for Dundas, who served as Cavalli’s head designer from 2002 to 2005.

As reported in the New York Times on March 19, 2015, the Norwegian born fashion designer Peter Dundas was to become the director of Roberto Cavalli.

At Roberto Cavalli, Mr. Dundas will be responsible for women’s wear, men’s wear and accessories, in addition to overseeing its licenses, marketing and communications. According to a company statement, these roles would “enable a repositioning of the house established by Roberto Cavalli in the early 1970s.”
