Valentino would like everyone to know that he had no involvement in designing the Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli collection. It seems even though he has been retired for about a year, there is speculation that he has been still actively influencing the collections. "If I decide to attend the presentation of their collection, it will only be as a supporter of two people I love and who have been close to me for many years," he said. Looks like they will be hanging around alot longer than Alessandra Facchinetti, for suuure!
