We didn't just lose a designer; we lost the last living link to the Golden Age of couture. Valentino Garavani was the definition of 'La Dolce Vita.' He didn't chase trends; he chased beauty. In an era where fashion has become ugly, ironic, and street-wear obsessed, Valentino never apologized for making women look glamorous. The 'Valentino Red' isn't just a color; it’s an emotion. The industry feels smaller today without The Emperor. We will never see elegance like that again.
