I have been in this company for 25 years, and for For 25 years I have existed and lived together with the people who with me have woven the threads of this beautiful story that is mine and ours. Everything has existed and exists thanks to the people I have met, with whom I have worked, with whom I have shared dreams and created beauty, with which I have built something that belongs to everyone, and which remains immutable and tangible. This heritage of love, dreams, beauty and humanity, I carry with me, today and forever. This is the beauty that we created, it's life, hope, opportunity and gratitude, it's my people, my heart, it's the love that gives you all the possibilities in the world, especially those you couldn't imagine alone. Thank you
to every single person who has made all of this possible in one way or another, it has been a privilege and an honor to share my journey, and my dreams, with you.
And thanks to Mr. Valentino and Giancarlo Giammetti who gave me theirs." A new creative organization for the fashion house will be announced soon.
