emilio cavallini
Emilio Cavallini is one of Italy’s most distinctive fashion hosiery brands, creating avant-garde tights and legwear from its base in Florence since 1962. The brand treats hosiery as a canvas for artistic expression – producing bold patterns, unusual textures and visually striking designs that have earned it a place in fashion editorials and on international runways. If you view tights as a fashion statement rather than a basic, Emilio Cavallini is the brand that speaks your language.
The creative ambition is matched by genuine Italian manufacturing quality. Emilio Cavallini uses premium Italian yarns and precision knitting techniques to execute intricate designs with sharp detail and rich colour depth. Even the most complex patterns maintain a comfortable, wearable fit – these are tights designed to be worn and admired, not just photographed.
The Emilio Cavallini collection
- Fashion tights: The brand’s signature category. Patterned tights with graphic prints, optical illusions, lace imitations and artistic motifs that go far beyond standard fashion hosiery. Each seasonal collection introduces entirely new design directions.
- Opaque tights: Rich, full-coverage plain tights in deep, saturated colours with a premium matte finish. Even Emilio Cavallini’s basics carry the Italian quality signature.
- Fishnet and net: Creative variations on fishnet tights that reinterpret the classic open weave with irregular meshes, layered effects and hybrid textures.
- Leggings: Fashion-forward leggings with printed patterns and textured surfaces that extend the brand’s design philosophy to trouser-like legwear.
Quality and sizing
Emilio Cavallini manufactures in Italy with premium yarns and European quality standards. Sizing follows the Italian system, which can run slightly smaller than standard European – consider sizing up if you are between two options. Hand-wash or use a mesh bag at 30°C to preserve intricate patterns. Explore the full Emilio Cavallini range below, or browse our tights department for fashion legwear from all brands.
