An era ends for Valentino with Piccioli's farewell - Fashion.it. The designer leaves after 25 years.
Now we're thinking about succession. According to rumors, Maria Grazia Chiuri or Alessandro Michele, former creative director of Gucci, could be involved. Kering, which among others also owns the Gucci brand, acquired 30/% of Valentino from Mayhoola, a Qatari company that still holds the majority of the brand. In 2019 he was included by the American Time magazine in the list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
