Valentino's words of wisdom.
Valentino's claim to fame is quite simply put, he refused to follow fashion trends.
"I've never offended a woman still making ridiculous." "I've gone my own way and the result is that everyone else copied me," he said.
"What bothers me really about some women today is that you have so much to choose you don't know what to do." Go brunette blonde and their hair look like sound comes out. Go to this ridiculously high heels and lead the terrible embroidered bags. I can't stand it! "Long live the simplicity of a white top and a few blue pants!"
We Sir are concerned, those with the privilege of having support father, and love in the fashion industry and all of you and your House over the years. You really are one of the most valuable founders of fashion, there will never be another as you seen again, and is the fashion weeks, whilst on the runway expensive be missed.
The Incons that touched our lives in one or other, Giorgio, way to Valentino, Klein, are not only fashion designers, are people who will go down in history as Shakespear and even Elvis. We had the privilege of smooth in a history witness all these times where genius made legends! If you participate Opporturnity event one of the big, use it with all my heart!
Learn mode from Valentino, we all chose benefiting from the trends he that over the years. The fashion industry are still under his influence, long after he retired, his impressions live on. So too much sure he will never leave us. He is retired, but I have no doubt, he will still because it is in his blood, it is who he is and he finds other Outletts which participates by fashion. I have a strong feeling!
