VALENTINO RETIRES
Celebrated fashion designer VALENTINO has announced his retirement.
The revered stylemaker, who has spent 45 years on top of the fashion world, admits he knew it was time to quit after celebrating his 45th anniversary with extravaganzas in Italy in July (07).
He says, "It was a moment that will be impossible to repeat."
And so, in a statement released on Tuesday (04Sep07), the 74-year-old designer has decided to bow out gracefully.
He writes, "At this time, I have decided that it is the perfect moment to say adieu to the world of fashion.
"As the English say, I would like to leave the party when it is still full."
Valentino, who has dressed a myriad of stars including Julia Roberts and Uma Thurman, will design one last ready-to-wear collection, to be shown during Paris fashion week in October (07), and a final haute couture collection, scheduled for January (08), according to People.com.
