“This victory belongs to Mr. Valentino and Mr. Giammetti who created this company, to all the humans of Valentino that contribute to make this dream bigger. To all my teams who happen to be my friends, you are able to transform ideas into reality, bringing poetry to our job. Non vogliamo essere subito gìa così senza sogni– we don’t want to be yet without dreams.” Last night in London, Creative Director @pppiccioli was honored as the @britishfashioncouncil’s Designer of the Year, an award acknowledging the role of fashion as a catalyst for self-expression, escapism and optimism. The award was presented to Pierpaolo by actress and friend of the house @florencepugh, who dressed in custom Valentino for the occasion. #TFA
