“I thank Mr. Valentino Garavani and Mr. Giammetti for their support in these years and for everything that I have learned from them. I also thank Mr. Sassi and all the people that work within the Valentino Maison for their support in these years. I have shared with Pierpaolo a great part of my professional life and it has been an experience made of many successful creative achievements together. I am ready to embark on a new professional challenge.”  Said Maria Grazia Chiuri.
