華倫天奴·加拉瓦尼,這位被譽為「時尚界末代皇帝」的皇家設計師逝世,享年93歲
華倫天奴(Valentino)——人們都這樣稱呼他——創立了最經久不衰、最時尚的品牌之一,並與他的上流社會客戶們平起平坐。

「我希望人們記得我是一個在任何地方都追求美的人,」他告訴《紐約客》。
對他而言,美是一種力量的工具,他將其佩戴得如同金冠般耀眼奪目。
“I hope I will be remembered as a man who pursued beauty wherever he could,” he told The New Yorker.
For him, beauty was a tool of power, and he wore it with the gilded glory of a crown.
“在義大利,有教皇——也有瓦倫蒂諾。”
Valentino Garavani, Regal Designer and Fashion’s ‘Last Emperor,’ Dies at 93
Valentino, as he was called, created one of the most durable and fashionable labels and became an equal of his high society customers.

Mr. Garavani founded his namesake company in 1959. For the next half-century, he not only dressed a world of grandees but also became their equal, with his own palaces, movable court and signature shade of red.
加拉瓦尼先生於1959年創立了以他名字命名的公司。在接下來的半個世紀裡,他不僅為世界名流設計服裝,更憑藉其專屬的品牌宮殿、移動的團隊以及標誌性的紅色,與他們比肩而立。
“In Italy, there is the Pope — and there is Valentino,”
(快訊)義大利時裝設計師范倫鐵諾.格拉瓦尼(Valentino Garavani)辭世,享耆壽93歲。他在1960年創辦了時尚品牌范倫鐵諾,並成為少數能在國際舞台上與法國人抗衡的義大利設計師,成功讓「義大利製造」成為奢華、品味與藝術性的代名詞。

In 1968, he created an all-white collection that sent ripples through the fashion world and won him the favor of Diana Vreeland, the powerful editor, and in 1975 he moved his ready-to-wear show to Paris. He created his first perfume — called, simply, Valentino — in 1978 and by the next year was licensing his name for bags, luggage, umbrellas and handkerchiefs (also, in Japan, cigarette lighters and pens). At its height, Mr. Giammetti said, Valentino had approximately 42 licenses. In 1984 the Italian Olympic team wore Valentino to the Los Angeles Games, and the next year President Sandro Pertini made him a Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.
