He has arrived in the apartment shortly after Valentino. He too is quite tan, with a thick shock of glamorous white hair. The only weather condition either man ever seems to have encountered is blazing Mediterranean sun. Giammetti takes care of all of the parts that are not really pleasant. I was working with peace, and he provided this. He knew that I was not to be disturbed. In the film, Giammetti tells Valentino when such a dress could use an extra ruffle, and even when his tan has, perhaps, become too intense.
What is between Valentino and me, it is beyond words. Like Chiuri, Piccioli is grounded by his family life. After law school, Caggia worked in real estate for seven years, but when she discovered that she was pregnant with their daughter Benedetta, now 21, she decided to focus on her family.
Piccioli had admired the green-shuttered, pink-washed Belle Epoque mansion and envied its near-private beach since he was a little boy gamboling in the waves below. From the heights of its paved gardens, one can make out the foundations of a Roman villa half-buried in the sand far below. The house is in the throes of a renovation, the bedrooms a work in progress, but downstairs Piccioli works in the light-spangled study, surrounded by his decorative-arts library.
He has been working on the collection since September. I think the culture of the house—uniqueness, extravagance—has to be in every single product. Today Piccioli is enthusiastically embracing a message of inclusivity by showing his latest collection largely on women of color.
In the end, 48 out of the 65 models were black, with a teary-eyed Naomi Campbell sporting the finale look.
The designer is joined in the fittings by Benedetta, who is following in his footsteps by studying literature at the University of Rome and has come to see him on her lunch break. He also spends time with haute couture clients, and with the actresses who now often require exclusive designs for their red carpet appearances—although Piccioli recalls that Lady Gaga reserved look 35 from the fall haute couture , a vast crinoline of soft pink feathers, practically the moment that Kaia Gerber wafted through the Salomon de Rothschild salons wearing it.
In the magnificent room next door, a sixteenth-century pope once came to meet with his family. Giammetti once held court here, too, surrounded by Italian Empire furniture and extraordinary examples of s Scuola Romana art. His design team alone is 70 strong. Valentino has a penchant for dogs, particularly pugs—of which he owns many.
Valentino remained actively involved with the company throughout these changes in ownership. In , Valentino announced that he would hold his final haute couture show in January of the following year. We strive for accuracy and fairness.
