Valentino announced on Friday, March 22, that the fashion house’s longtime creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli is leaving the company
The fashion house announced the news on Friday, March 22, explaining that Valentino’s collaboration with Piccioli, 56, has come to an end. “We extend our deepest gratitude to Pierpaolo for writing an important chapter in the history of the Maison Valentino. His contribution over the past 25 years will leave an indelible mark,” Valentino’s chairman Rachid Mohamed Rachid said in a statement, per Reuters.
He added, “I’ve been in this company for 25 years, and for 25 years I’ve existed and I’ve lived with people who have woven the weaves of this beautiful story that is mine and ours... Thanks to Mr. Valentino and Giancarlo Giammetti who have blessed me with their trust, thanks to every single person who made this possible in one way or another. It was a privilege and an honor to share my journey, and my dreams, with you.
He’s to thank for the Barbiecore craze after unveiling the pink-clad fall 2022 collection at Paris Fashion Week in March 2022. “I was fascinated by the idea of having this moment of reflection and digging deeper,” he told Vogue in an interview that same month, adding that the shade is meant to “intensify the senses.”
