Valentino Garavani, the man who made wearing red a fashion statement and turned haute couture into a household name, has left us. After a solid 94 years of dazzling the world, I have to ask: how many outfits did he design in a lifetime? Enough to dress a small country, I suppose! His empire spanned almost half a century, and yet, I can't help but feel like I just found out that my favorite pizza place has closed down. So many fabulous gowns and suits, and yet, here I am, still figuring out how to make sweatpants look chic on a Zoom call. Let’s be real, we’re all going to miss debating whether we’re worthy of a Valentino dress while sipping our overpriced lattes. Who’s going to step up to fill those fabulous shoes? What’s your favorite Valentino memory? https://www.ft.com/content/6bc44647-7eeb-4f1b-9b44-295ecdd1002d #ValentinoGaravani #FashionLegend #IconicStyle #RIPValentino
