Valentino Garavani

He spent sixty years putting the world’s richest women in red dresses so expensive they came with their own security detail. He dressed Jackie Kennedy to marry a Greek shipping tycoon, Julia Roberts to collect her Oscar and every princess with a trust fund in between, all while maintaining a tan the color of a very expensive handbag. He died at home in Rome. Somewhere a pug in a monogrammed sweater is wondering who pays for dinner now.
