Valentino Garavani, the Italian designer whose name became shorthand for old-world glamour and that unmistakable “Valentino red,” has died at 93 in Rome. His clothes always felt engineered for entrances: regal silhouettes, intricate finishing, and that particular mix of restraint and drama that made a gown look inevitable instead of “styled.”
Val dressed everyone from Jackie Kennedy Onassis to Elizabeth Taylor and generations of red-carpet royalty, then stepped back from the runway in 2008 after decades at the top. The house continued evolving after his retirement, but the Valentino signature stayed clear: elegance with bite, romance with discipline, and a color that practically has its own biography. RIP to this complete fashun legend.
