Rome, 20 January (LaPresse) – "He taught the world how to live an important life without being ridiculous. Clothes should be recognised for what they give to a woman and not for what the design wants to convey.‘ These were the words of Giancarlo Giammetti, former partner and associate of Valentino, the famous fashion designer who passed away yesterday at the age of 93, speaking outside the Pm23 headquarters in Piazza Mignanelli in Rome, where the funeral chapel has been set up. ’He taught us that beauty creates beauty. That it creates culture. A phrase that is also engraved on a mirror here at the Foundation, “I love beauty, it's not my fault,”‘ he added. Valentino red? ’It will remain a beautiful colour and someone else will carry it on."
