Fashion Flashback: Valentino Garavani, A Retrospective

March 5, 2026 by Leave a Comment

At the beginning of this year, the world lost an absolute pillar of not only the fashion industry but the world at large; Valentino Garavani; a man who dedicated his life to beauty and inspiring others for decades to come. Fashion Reverie takes a moment to honor his life, looking back at his lasting legacy.

Valentino Clemente Ludovico Garavani was born on May 11, 1932, in Voghera, a small town in northern Italy, to Mauro Garavani and Teresa de Biaggi. His father, Mauro, worked in electrical supplies, and his mother managed their household. His interest in fashion began early, in primary school, when he apprenticed under his Aunt Rosa and designer Ernestina Salvadeo.

It was his parents who ultimately supported his unconventional career ambitions to work in fashion. By the age of 17, Valentino moved to Paris to study at Beaux-Arts de Paris and the Ecole de la Chamber to complete his formal studies. He then had apprenticeships under Jacques Fath, Balenciaga, Dior, and Dessès, where he assisted Countess Jacqueline de Ribes, sketching her dress ideas. He later returned to Rome to work under accomplished designers Emilio Schuberth and Vincenzo Ferdinandi.

In 1960 Valentino opened his own fashion house. With the help of his father and his business partner, Valentino opened his atelier on Via Condotti, Rome’s elegant and busy street often dubbed Italy’s Rodeo Drive. 

One year later, Valentino met Giancarlo Giammetti, an architect by trade, who would soon become Valentino’s professional and romantic partner (through 1972), and cornerstone of the Valentino name. He joined the young Valentino team at a time when things were precarious on the financial front. He brought a sense of measuredness to Valentino, with his business savvy.

The pair presented their first haute couture collection in Florence’s Palazzo Pitti. The show garnered the attention of Jacqueline Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn, and the Valentino name took off like wildfire with their stamps of approval. 

His early association with the Kennedy name became a significant turning point for Valentino. Jacqueline Kennedy, an earlier admirer, had wanted to view a collection at a charity ball in New York City but couldn’t attend. Valentino decided to send a model, sales rep, and six pieces to her apartment. She ordered six haute couture dresses in black and white and wore them in her year of mourning for her late husband, President John F. Kennedy. This began Jacqueline Kennedy’s lifelong relationship with Valentino.

By the 1970s and 80s, the Valentino name was highly regarded and associated with elegance, femininity, and luxury. Valentino had aL.I.F.E. masterful eye for voluminous silhouettes, intricate detail, and color; ‘Valentino Red’ became an iconic pillar of the brand. The film “Pretty Woman” helped thrust the color into iconic status.

The early 1990s were marked by Valentino giving back. He opened Accademia Valentino as a cultural space made for art exhibition presentations near his atelier in Rome. In 1991, he and Giancarlo, with the encouragement of friend and long-time client Elizabeth Taylor, founded , in support of HIV/AIDS patients.

After an illustrious career and decades of shaping not only gorgeous gowns, but culture at large, Valentino and Giancarlo sold the company to HdP group for $300 million in 1998, though Valentino stayed on as creative director until stepping down in 2007.

He announced his complete retirement in January 2008 after delivering a final haute couture show in Paris. There, he presented all “Valentino Red” gowns. In October the same year, he presented his last women’s ready-to-wear show in Paris, receiving a standing ovation.

First appointed to Valentino after Valentino Garavani’s departure were Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli in September 2007. In March 2024, Alessandro Michele took over as creative director after stepping down from Gucci.

In his personal life, Valentino remained very close with his mother Teresa, who had moved to Rome to help with the business. After his romantic relationship with Giancarlo ended in the early 1970s, Valentino met his future partner Bruce Hoeksema, a fashion model, in the early 1980s.

Valentino and Giancarlo were known for indulging in a lavish lifestyle the label lent itself to, spending time yachting, whipping around Italy in a bulletproof Mercedes, and traveling in a 14-seat Challenger jet. Valentino adored dogs, owning six pugs, and often having a separate car for five of them. One of them, Maude, always traveled with him.

Valentino Garavani died peacefully in Rome on January 19, 2026, at the age of 93. He died naturally and peacefully in his home, surrounded by family. News of his passing was heard around the world, as more than 10,000 people paid their condolences at his funeral on the 23 of January.

It was evident that Valentino’s legacy was a lasting one. He entered the world inspired, destined to dedicate his life to his beautiful craft. He left it having made an indelible mark on all in the fashion industry and beyond.

Breaking Fashion News Alert: Valentino Garavani Transitions

January 19, 2026 by Leave a Comment

Valentino Garavani, the founder and former creative director of Italian luxury brand Valentino, has passed away. The death was announced on Instagram by the Fondazione Valentino Garavani e Giancarlo Giammetti that “peacefully passed away today at his residence in Rome, surrounded by the love of his family,” as reported in fashionista.com.

Born in 1932 in Voghera, a town in the region of Lombardy, Valentino moved to Paris as a teenager to study fashion at Chambre Syndicale de Couture Parisienne. After his studies in Paris, Valentino worked as an apprentice with Jacques Dessès and later worked for five years at Guy LaRoche‘s atelier in Paris.

Image courtesy of glamobserver.com

In 1960 Valentino partnered with Italian architect Giancarlo Giammetti to start his eponymous brand, Valentino. His first collection contained the iconic red ‘Fiesta’ dress with every collection moving forward always including at least one red dress or gown, which came to be known as ‘Valentino Red.’

Valentino’s big break came in 1962 when his couture collection, shown in Florence, Italy, catapulted him to the top of Italian couturiers. Valentino won the Neiman Marcus Award in 1967 and designed Jackie Kennedy’s wedding gown to Aristotle Onassis that same year.

The Valentino brand experienced a stratospheric rise in the 1970s as Valentino Garavani spent a lot of time in New York City, infusing his collections with American and New York City inspirations. In the 1980s Valentino expanded his empire, later selling his company to Holding di Partecipazioni Industriali, but he remained as creative director and designer until 2008, when he released his final ready-to-wear collection.

Valentino Garavani’s funeral will be held on Friday, Jan. 23 at the Basilica Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri, in Piazza della Repubblica 8 in Rome at 11 a.m.

Eight Fall 2025 Fashion Collaborations to Know

October 23, 2025 by Leave a Comment

Fashion collaborations are everything. From couture houses to lifestyle brands to partnerships with celebrities, everyone is joining forces to create something ‘new.’ Every season, more marketing teams egg on collaborations, and if it seems to be getting weirder, that’s not just you (yes, Fashion Reverie is thinking of Cheetos being at NYFW). But amid all the chaos, there are some standout partnerships that scratch the creative itch of fashion minds.

Here are the eight more exciting fashion collaborations to know this fall.

Anthropologie x New York City Ballet

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas …  Anthropologie, the lifestyle retailer beloved for its whimsical decor and cozy fashion, has partnered with the New York City Ballet for a Nutcracker-themed holiday collection. The collection has a range of charming dishware, ornaments, and home goods adorned with scenes from the beloved Christmas ballet.

Pandora x Disney

Both brands are known for storytelling, just in different ways. Disney for their films, Pandora for their charm bracelets. And honestly, why not combine them? This jewelry collaboration does just that to capture the childhood magic of dressing up like your favorite princess. The collection features charms, rings, and bracelets inspired by iconic Disney movies.

Nike x Skims

This collection may have launched earlier this year, but it keeps expanding. The Nike X Skims collab is just another brilliant marketing move created by Kim K. The partnership combines Nike’s athletic wear expertise with Skims’ signature sculpting designs, creating perfect body-conscious designs for sportswear.

Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami

Would you believe us if we told you this collaboration first debuted over two decades ago? Originally launched in 2003, the Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami partnership helped define the Y2K fashion era. Now, it’s back. The revival collection channels the same energy. Think: colorful, anime-coded, whimsical details on classic Louis Vuitton items.

Nara Smith x Reformation

From cooking everything from scratch while wearing couture to a capsule collection, model and influencer Nara Smith has now created her own aesthetic. Always polished, feminine, and a tad trad-wife core, this aesthetic is now shoppable with Reformation. The new line blends the brand’s eco-conscious thought process with Nara’s soft glamour, making it the perfect wardrobe for the modern homemaker who still loves a fashion moment.

Moncler x Rick Owens

This ongoing partnership between Moncler and Rick Owens is anything but ordinary. Both brands are known to be avant-garde and sculptural, and this collaboration continues to push boundaries. By blending Moncler’s funky outerwear with Owens’ dark, architectural aesthetic, each of the items feels like wearable art.

Fendi x Red Wing

In celebration of Red Wing’s 100th anniversary, the American brand crossed the Atlantic to join forces with Italian luxury house Fendi for a collection that’s equal parts durable and decadent. Expect buttery leathers, fine craftsmanship, and boots that are built to last (and turn heads).

Jimmy Choo x Malbon Golf

Luxury meets leisure in the Jimmy Choo x Malbon collaboration. The British footwear label and golf lifestyle brand come together for a capsule that redefines sporty glamour, complete with embellished golf shoes, sleek accessories, and plenty of fairway flair.

NARDOS Bridal Fall 2026

October 16, 2025 by Leave a Comment

Most of love historical film dramas. Think “Gilded Age,” “Age of Innocence,” “House of Mirth,” so forth and so on. Those historical dramas, particularly those from the Edwardian and Victorian Age are great reflections are luxurious, dramatic, embellished gowns with long trains, hourglass waistlines, and heavily jeweled and embellished luxury fabrics. This was the focal point of Imam Nardos’ fall 2026 bridal collection.

This fall 2025 bridal collection was a homage to a bygone era. This ‘Victorian Rosettes’ collection reflects a time when romance was treated as art and every detail carried meaning. Inspired by the sculptural silhouettes and poetic elegance of Victorian design, the collection reimagines heirloom beauty for the modern bride.

Each gown is conceived as a timeless treasure, not simply something to wear, but something to keep, to pass down, and to hold close as part of a lasting story of love and legacy. Interestingly, there are lots of floral embellishments in this collection as well as 3-D floral cutouts. These floral embellishments aka rosettes add to the sumptuousness of the bridal gowns, still down with modern techniques, elevating this bridal collection from just a fashion dissertation of days gone by.

As with all NARDOS bridal collections, this is not a bridal collection that is steeped in simplicity and minimalism. Though there are some bridal gowns in this collection that are less embellished and awe-inspiring, for the most part most of the collection is for that bride looking to make a statement on her very special day.

In this bridal collection, Imam Nardos demonstrates that looking back and bringing it forward is a good thing. And since this a one-of-a-kind experience for most bridal consumers, why not make this purchase your whimsical fantasy and fairytale dream.

New York Fashion Week Spring 2026 Beauty Trends

September 26, 2025 by Leave a Comment

If this past New York Fashion Week (NYFW) taught us anything, it’s that beauty is not about perfection, it’s about spirit. From shimmery and pierced nails to watercolor-washed lids, backstage artists made these trends their own.

Here are the season’s defining beauty moments, straight from the fashion week shows.

All Things Chrome

Nail artists leaned into chrome finishes and effects that catch the light, with subtle mirror-like sheen to full-on space cadet styles.  This season chrome isn’t just a nail trend; it’s an entire mood.

At Shao, Pattie Yankee pushed the metallic vibe with futuristic icy chrome nails in several different styles. She created cracked-ice textures by pressing saran wrap into gel and peeling it away to leave a 3-D iceberg effect. Silver bullions in various sizes were strategically added, especially on the men’s nails, resulting in a rugged, dimensional finish.

For LoveShackFancy, Miss Pop went “Boho Chrome,” describing her understated manicures as “sparkling from within. Pearly, fabulous, flashing lights …” To get the standout nude chrome effect, it’s all about essie’s new “Liquid Sunrise.” Miss Pop explains, “Iridescence in a nail polish usually has a chunkier fleck.  But here it’s, a very subtle, perfect shimmer.”

The Wet Look

Chrome’s shine spilled over to hair. Lead stylist for Aveda, Britt Dion, drenched models’ locks at Shao for a “wetter than wet” style with almost plastic, Ken-doll lines.

Using a neutral finish foam to give the hair structure and then going directly on top of it with Aveda’s Be Curly Advanced Coil Definer Gel to give it this “really, really, high shine to where it’s going to look like it’s still wet.”  The look is finished off with defined futuristic lines that looked almost sculpted.

PatBo also took to the wet hair movement with twisted back buns drenched in Eco Style Styling Gel for a polished just-out-of-the-shower moment that felt surprisingly runway-ready.

Watercolor + Pastel Lids

These slightly hazy, beautifully defused eyeshadows tout stunning colors in a beautifully restrained way as if stepping right out of a painting.

At Pamella Roland, Rick DiCecca of Artistry Makeup channeled American artists, Georgia O’Keeffe and Andy Warhol, with “a dusty pink wash of color over the lid” and “a very dark purple, almost like a sunset, along the base of the lashes.  We’re using all colors you’d see in the desert, colors you’d see in paintings …” DiCecca shares.  “The thing I love about doing Pamela’s show is the models always walk away feeling beautiful.”

Collina Strada models wore soft shimmery water-colored shades washed over lids, while Pat McGrath for Anna Sui layered dreamy blue-purple shadow and topped it with light-blue mascara for her “Desert Bloom” effect.

The Return of the Side Part

After years of center-part dominance, millennials rejoice, the side part is officially back.

Unite lead stylist Narad Kutowaroo debuted sleek, deep side-parted blowouts for Pamella Roland, smoothing hair behind the ears for what he called “a very expensive finish,” that looked as if there were no product in the hair at all. He repeated a similar stunning side-parted look at Kate Barton.

Other shows featuring parts filled with ‘90s runway nostalgia, to hair swept across the face in an extreme part this season included Tory Burch, Jason Wu, Cucculelli Shaheen, and Sandy Liang.

Soap Nails – Clean and Fresh

Minimalist “Soap Nails” offered a softer approach to some of this season’s bolder trends. Simplistic in nature, these manicures are all about understated beauty.

At Kallmeyer, Pattie Yankee layered her own shades, one coat of “Barely There” topped with “Be Kind,” for the perfect nude on a rounded natural nail. “The designer just wanted a really clean aesthetic,” she said.

A Touch of Toughness

Juxtaposition is key to nailing the pretty meets tough trend. “I think that the Kallmeyer girl and the Saie girl is a little bit more effortless,” lead makeup artist James Boehmer shares. “It’s like the idea you’re primped and polished, but nothing tries too hard.  It’s really about the texture of the skin.” Models received Danucera facials before makeup; Boehmer then used Saie Slip Tint Concealer where needed, added Saie Dew Blush Liquid Cream Blush, and dusted powder in the center of the face for contrast.

“We’re applying blush a little closer to the corner of the eye, so it has a little bit more edge and grit,” making it a lot less angelic Boehmer explains, then finishing the look off with smudged brown mascara for a “tough-girl edge.”

tarte also crafted a beautiful complexion with a smoldering eye and structured brow for LoveShackFancy.  Using their smolderEYES paired with Brows for Days Framing Gel and Amazonian Clay Brow Pencil, lead artist Shyanna Lundi perfectly balanced elements of western edge to an otherwise romantic look.

Uncomplicated Waves

Styled yet never fussy, natural waves dominated this season.

TRESemmé Partner Justine Marjan wanted to enhance the models’ natural waves in a look aptly named “Windswept Waves” for Cynthia Rowley.  Using TRESemmé A-List Collection Dry Texturizing Spray (available at Target). Marjan scrunched damp hair to define the wave pattern, adding flat-iron S-waves where needed.

At LoveShackFancy, Brent Lawler constructed “very soft, lived-in waves.” Ends were left straight for a natural finish, with a hit of Batiste Original Dry Shampoo to add extra volume.

Sculptural Hair

While effortless waves ruled the runways, accent hairstyles brought playful punctuation.

At Alice + Olivia, lead stylist Glen Oropeza customized each braided updo with woven fabric, pearls, and more. “The collection is extremely colorful and playful, so we wanted a hair look that could match many different looks,” he stated, using amika Supernova Moisture and Shine Cream to keep flyaways polished.

No matter your vibe, bold and edgy or clean and romantic, these new styles which will be everywhere next spring offer something to fit everyone.  The best part? You don’t have to wait until the weather warms up to start experimenting.  Get ahead of the curve and try out a luxe minimalistic mani or creative updo today!
