Roberto Cavalli, 73, and his 24-yr-old girlfriend Lina Nilson

Age is only but a number, when it comes to true love you don't even think of age difference. Roberto Cavalli  has built his empire on collections featuring exotic prints, most notably leopard print. See Roberto Cavalli, 73, and his girlfriend Lina Nilson – who is in her twenties – decided to wear the print as they frolicked on the beach in Miami on Wednesday.

The couple revealed their very tanned bodies as they headed into the warm sea, showing off their wild sides. 

Roberto, who is known for not being shy about stripping down while not at events, looked confident in his blue trunks. Beside him his partner Lina looked just as at home in her swimwear wearing a colourful string bikini which was also leopard.

Her dark hair was pulled off her face and she looked as enamoured as ever with the designer as they enjoyed the sunshine.

Florence born Roberto has been a big name on the fashion scene since the 1970s and continues to be a huge hit with celebrities these days –  as the likes of Cara Delevingne, Elizabeth Hurley and Rita Ora regularly wear his clothes.
