GARAVANI GETS 90 YEARS OLD

Valentino Garavani is marking celebratory moment on Wednesday, turning 90 years old. The city of Voghera, Italy, where the couturier was born, is paying tribute to him with an exhibition of 50 of his storied designs, running from Wednesday to June 5 at the Teatro Sociale.

A selection of Valentino gowns, including some in the designer’s signature red color, are on display in the site-specific installation. Sketches, drawings, media clippings, photos and documents complete the exhibition.

Garavani’s ironic mantra in red appears on a limited-edition hoodie created especially for the occasion: “I love beauty, It’s not my fault.” The hoodie will be launched on Wednesday, available only on the brand’s site.
