In 1959, Valentino Garavani founded his fashion house, proclaiming his main goal to create beauty for women.
On Monday in Rome, surrounded by family, the renowned designer Valentino Garavani passed away at the age of 94, reports "Amic.ru".
The farewell ceremony will take place on January 24 at 11:00 local time at the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri, located in Piazza della Repubblica.
“The Emperor is no more… Valentino Garavani left this world at 93 in his beloved Rome, the city he chose as his home and where he decided to live and work forever. The scale of the loss for the fashion world is hard to overestimate; Valentino's fame has long surpassed the boundaries of styles and generations,” quotes foreign publications starhit.ru.
The designer founded his fashion house Valentino in 1959 with the intention of creating beauty for women. His unique style quickly gained recognition, and he became one of the central figures in the fashion world. Valentino was not afraid to experiment; for example, his 1967 show featuring an all-white collection became iconic during the hippie movement.
Over time, his clients included royalty, actresses, and first ladies, including Jacqueline Kennedy. Dresses from his brand were worn at the Oscars by six actresses, including Sophia Loren and Julia Roberts.
In 1998, he sold his brand for 300 million dollars but continued to be its symbol. In 2007, Valentino Garavani held a series of shows and events in Rome, which became the final chord of his career.
