V is for

Valentino

The entire fashion world shed a little tear this January when Valentino Garavani waved his final catwalk goodbye – and hung up his designer’s hat for good with a closing Couture collection. And whilst the house of Valentino pushes on, the man himself will always be remembered for being the king of class. Beautiful satin, intricate lace and embroidered floral prints made up the voluminously shaped coats and dresses of his final showdown, but of course, it was his trademark that closed the show – in the form of a huge red dress projected onto the wall.
