Roberto Cavalli partners with Las Vegas Fashion Council during Big Game Weekend to support emerging designers

Italian fashion designer Roberto Cavalli has teamed up with the Las Vegas Fashion Council (LVFC) to host an event in support of emerging fashion designers during the upcoming Big Game Weekend.

Roberto Cavalli is set to donate 10 percent of all sales from the brand's boutique located at the Wynn Las Vegas throughout its weekend event as well as from the special couture suite set up for the occasion.

In line with the LVFC's broader mission to encourage creativity and innovation in the fashion world by supporting young designers, Roberto Cavalli has partnered with the organization during one of the most anticipated sporting events in the United States, underlining its commitment to fostering growth in the industry.

All proceeds from the event will go towards a special grant for a talented young designer, providing essential resources to aid in bringing their creative projects and ambitions to life. "My creative journey has been deeply influenced by the dynamic energy of the United States, forever serving as a wellspring of inspiration for my designs," commented Fausto Puglisi, creative director for Roberto Cavalli, in a statement.

"The pulsating vibrancy of America has been pivotal in shaping my artistic vision. That’s why it’s so important for me to announce this partnership with the Las Vegas Fashion Council, as I’d love to offer, through this grant, the opportunity I had to emerging talents here in Vegas.”

The new partnership will be honored during the Roberto Cavalli cocktail event and trunk show on February 9 at Wynn Las Vegas. The showcase will include a mix of ready-to-wear and couture looks from the brand, and Puglisi, together with the brand's executive team, will be present to welcome clientele.
