Farewell to a Fashion Titan.

The fashion world bids farewell to Valentino Garavani, the Italian maestro who defined timeless elegance and helped to make couture an expression of high culture.

His creations were not just clothes — designed for women like First Lady Jackie Kennedy, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, Marie-Chantal, Crown Princess of Greece and Princess Madeleine of Sweden, they became icons of style and history.

Valentino’s influence spanned generations and genres. Hollywood stars like Jennifer Lopez, Courteney Cox, Sophie Hunter, Halle Berry, Cate Blanchett, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Anne Hathaway graced red carpets in his designs. Royal icons like Princess Diana and legendary actresses such as Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn were among those captivated by his vision.

His artistry reached across continents, and was embraced by stars like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at Cannes and Priyanka Chopra Jonas at the Met Gala, while Indian icons like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, and Isha Ambani — in a bespoke Valentino lehenga — continued to celebrate his legacy long after he retired.

For over six decades, Valentino didn’t just dress icons — he crafted moments that became immortal.

RIP, Valentino Garavani.
