After 45 years as head designer of his name sake fashion house, Valentino is retiring. Known for his signature, fire-red couture gowns, Valentino designs have epitomized class and allure. He, along with Gianni Versace and Giorgio Armani, have redefined fashion and created a virtual theocracy of Italian brilliance.
The Valentino house will live on through the work of his existing design team, and will debut new lines in October and January.
