Happy Birthday, Valentino
Guess who turned 80 today? Valentino Clemente Ludovico Garavani, the undisputed maestro of Italian couture for nearly 50 years, that’s who. What do you give a man who has villas and chateaux all over the world, a top-grossing documentary (and possibly a Broadway musical), a virtual museum, a celebrity doppelganger (George Hamilton), a collection of awards and medals rivaling an English lord, and more pugs than he can keep up with? Yeah, we’re going to go with a card.
