In 1959, the designer founded his fashion house, setting the goal of making women more beautiful.
On Monday, Valentino Garavani, the famous designer who lived for 94 years, passed away in Rome. According to media reports, he died surrounded by his loved ones, as reported by "Amic.ru".
The farewell ceremony for the designer 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 passed away at the age of 93 in his beloved Rome – a city he considered his spiritual home and where he chose to live and work forever. The scale of the loss for the whole world is hard to overestimate: his fame has long transcended the boundaries of fashion, trends, and generations,” quotes foreign publications starhit.ru.
The Valentino fashion house, founded in 1959, became a symbol of Garavani's desire to make women beautiful. His unique style quickly gained popularity, and he became one of the most influential figures in the fashion industry. Among his bold decisions was the 1967 show, where he presented an entirely white collection against the backdrop of hippie aesthetics.
Over time, his clients included not only famous actresses but also first ladies, royalty, and style icons. Jacqueline Kennedy was one of those inspired by his work, and Valentino dresses were worn at the Oscars by stars such as Sophia Loren and Julia Roberts.
In 1998, he sold his brand for 300 million dollars but continued to be its face. In 2007, Garavani officially concluded his career, holding a series of shows and events in Rome that became his final chord in the fashion industry.
