Pierpaolo Piccioli leaves Valentino after having returned the brand to the top. He had been with the company for 25 years and since 2008 he was a duo designer with Maria Grazia Chiuri, today creative director of Dior.

"Not all stories have a beginning or an end, some live a kind of eternal present that shines so much that it does not cast shadows," he says. In 2018 he was in charge of making the wardrobe of Marta Ortega for her wedding to Carlos Torretta.
