The downloadable desktop application will be called the Valentio Garavani Virtual Museum, which will be the first of its kind. Today, the Valentino Garavani website went live, offering a short video of what is to come in the next few weeks. The official launch is Dec. 5, when individuals will have a glimpse into the world of the designer, who retired from his fashion house in 2008.
Valentino says, “I am happy that thousands of students, young designers, and fashion people will be able to see and study my work in every aspect of it, and in a manner easy and accessible for the younger generations. But it is also important to remember things of the past, to review the fashion that has shaped our lives. I would call it ‘Future Memory.’”
Both Valentino and Giammetti will be in New York on Dec. 5, to help with the "opening" of the museum.
