valentino catagorically denies it
designer maven, valentino, handed over the reigns of his designer helm to maria grazia chiuri and pier paolo piccioli; officially the collection will debut via satelite as reported here, yesterday. valentino was quoted, to insight any further clarification needed to those wondering, he has hand no part in the creation of the “digital dimension” & recreation of the valentino label. the italian design legend has said, “If I decide to attend the presentation of their collection, it will only be as a supporter of two people I love and who have been close to me for many years”. & their you have it, the emperor has spoken. now we`ll all wait & see how well his non-participation will be for the label. im super juiced to see what both maria & pier have created. stay tuned as more developments in this story, or others related, will be posted as soon as they are recieved. lets hope they dont get fired after a few collections like fachinetti did. yikes.
valentino filmed the creation of his last collection for his luxury line during the duration of a documentary called, “the last emperor”. the documentary wrapped last season & now in celebration of a the label being under new creative direction, the italian fashion house has taken their high-end couture collection to an unprecedented plateau of visibility. maria grazia chiuri & pier paolo piccioli will unveil their first collection via satelite showcasing a renewed vision for the valentino label, it promises “urban and sophisticated, dreamlike and digital dimension”. sounds impressive & i think it was a wise decesion to take the whole ‘digital dimension’concept & take the collection to an internet modern day technology driven showcase. london vogue reports: “the actual action takes place Le Grand Ampitheatre de la Sorbonne at 6.30pm on Wednesday, January 28, visitors to Valentino’s boutiques on Rue de Faubourg St Honore in Paris, Via Condotti in Rome and Via Montenapoleone in Milan will be able to watch the show in real time, as it is broadcast via satellite on specially-installed plasma screens.” stay tuned for more as this story develops.
everyone knows his name by now; the designer credited for the gown worn by michelle obama ar the inaugural ball [if i have to type that again im gonna pull my hair out] jason wu is now being frowned upon by his family. word on the street is; his family caught wind of wu`s activities when he got the news & what he did to celebrate. the press printed information about wu celebrating with his boyfriend & finance director, gustavo rangel. sources say that wu`s family knew of his sexual preference but his extended family did not. in my opinion, why would you trip that people are “dissapointed” that you couldnt be more “discreet” they should be kissing his feet for him landing his design in the smithsonian. & i mean, not to feed into stereotypes because the dont always apply but- he`s a fashion designer- how much louder can his preferences be? get over it. its two thousand nine.
