Early last week, Mr Valentino has announced that he will depart from the head creative helm that is the house of Valentino. There was much speculation in the previous months that has followed up to this announcement. But it seems that Mr Valentino is departing on a high, after seeing out the season after just one more ready-to-wear and one Couture collection. A creative team has been hand picked by the master himself, with the once Gucci womens-wear creative director, Alessandra Facchinetti, heading up the team. According to Vogue UK, Ms Facchinetti 'will have back-up in the shape of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, Valentino's accessory designers, who will continue in their current creative positions, as the house announces a shift in focus to menswear'.
It is another milestone end in fashion's history, as Mr Valentino departs the fashion limelight.
