VALENTINO RETIRES
Valentino celebrated 45 years in the fashion industry in July and after a huge celebration, he decided that he wanted to exit the business on a high note. He has announced that he will retire in January 2008 and he certainly deserves to put his feet up at the age of 75. The couturier has influenced the world with his style and has dressed the most glamourous people of this planet. He designed Jackie Kennedy's unforgettable wedding dress when she married Aristotle Onassis and pushed the envelope when he dressed the sexy Sakis Rouvas (Greece's Most Popular Male Artist) for his national 1998 tour in a black skirt that caused chaos and controversy in Greece. His signature look remains the scarlet dress and his style is compared to none. Look out for his final collections coming up in October (Ready to Wear) and January (Haute Couture).
