Since DAMAC Group acquired Roberto Cavalli in 2019, the brand has undergone a revitalization, expanding beyond fashion into real estate and hospitality. The Cavalli Tower in Dubai, a testament to the brand’s luxury lifestyle vision, is a prime example of this expansion.
Amira Sajwani, Managing Director of DAMAC Group, commented, “Dubai’s global fashion influence continues to grow,and we’re proud to see Roberto Cavalli leading this transformation. The brand’s Italian flair and luxury fit perfectly in the Middle East, and we’re excited about its further expansion in the region.”
Dubai has emerged as a pivotal player in the global luxury fashion market, with a rising demand for high-end fashion. The GCC region, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia, is experiencing rapid growth in the luxury sector, making it a critical market for international brands.
Roberto Cavalli’s recent participation in Dubai Fashion Week underscores its ongoing commitment to the region’s fashion scene. The brand, which also offers fragrances, eyewear, and home collections, continues its global retail expansion with new stores in London and Las Vegas and is exploring further opportunities in the Middle East.
