00:00In every Valentino collection there would be at least one red dress on the runway.
00:05The color that carried his name, Valentino Red, became a signature hue for the Italian fashion group.
00:12And I am very happy because in my career I tried to make women looking beautiful
00:19and I am very happy that now couture and fashion goes back to beauty.
00:25Valentino Garavani, who built one of Italy's most celebrated luxury houses,
00:30died on Monday at his home in Rome, according to his foundation.
00:34He was 93 years old. Known in the industry as the emperor,
00:38Valentino ranked alongside Giorgio Armani and Karl Lagerfeld as the last of a leading generation of
00:43designers. Scaling the heights of high fashion, he was the first Italian to feature on the exclusive
00:49Paris haute couture catwalks. Valentino was passionate about film and as a young man he
00:55dreamed of dressing what he called beautiful ladies of the silver screen.
00:59I think he just loves women, he loves to dress them, he loves to see them look beautiful and glamorous.
01:03Valentino was an only child, born into a well-to-do family in Vogueira, south of Milan.
01:08He studied couture in Milan and Paris where he then worked as an apprentice for designer Jean de Cesse.
01:14He returned home in 1960 where he opened his own fashion house in the heart of Rome.
01:19He created a business empire under his own name before selling it off ahead of his retirement in 2008.
01:25I did a lot in fashion so now I think about myself and maybe something else that makes me feel very,
01:33very not too, not too sad but I give me joy.
01:41Valentino and his partner remained active in supporting the arts,
01:44opening a gallery in the center of Rome last year through their foundation.
01:49Valentino can be a main speaker over the world and sat down.
01:54Just watch it as a beautiful lady when he took over my life.
01:57I've been hearing him now.
01:58It was very funny and a beautiful lady.
01:59Wasn't it so funny?
02:00I've been hearing him now.
02:01You can tell me how to make the societal issues that he's in the world,
02:04but I can find him in the room like a while.
02:04I've been hearing him now.
02:05I'm hearing him now.
02:06He always sees you and I know I hear his own words that he's through the whole world.
02:08He's doing very, it's a great way to learn how to make it.
02:09He's feeling that he's through the space and he's through to meet up here,
02:10which he seems like the music is a bit more political.
02:12I've never seen him with this one thing,
02:14he's like me.
