Roberto was recognised for his vivacious designs, exotic colours, animal prints and for showcasing the first-ever pair of sand-blasted denim jeans in 1994. Jennifer Lopez captured his signature style in one outfit when she attended the VMAs, wearing a sheer leopard printed shirt styled with leather thigh-high boots, skintight biker mini shorts and a fedora hat.

Over recent seasons, animal print has made a triumphant return, sheer dressing has been on the sartorial map since 2022, wearing micro shorts (or no bottoms at all) has become the It-girl go-to way of making a statement in the streets, and recently, thigh-high boots have been worn by the likes of Emily Ratajkowski, Taylor Swift and Sydney Sweeney.
