Valentino Garavani was a maestro, crafting silhouettes that instantly elevated the confidence of people who wore them and captivated onlookers. He worked hard and apprenticed under French and Italian designers before opening his atelier in the early 1960s.
Then came 1962, when his international debut on a runway in Florence catapulted him to global fame. His clientele was exclusive, filled with royal and celebrated icons. Valentino Garavani died on January 19, 2026, at the age of 93. As the world is mourning the loss of the 'last emperor', here is a throwback to when Indian celebrities celebrated his silhouettes on runways, red carpets, and special events.
