The Valentino Garavani Virtual Museum
The opening for the Valentino Garavani Virtual Museum was held at December 5th at MoMA New York by actrice Anne Hathaway. Valentino Garavani, legendary fashion designer, has defined a unique world of couture for almost half a century. Now his achievement takes radical new form, in keeping with the creative traditions of the house: The Valentino Garavani Virtual Museum.
The Valentino Museum is a virtual exhibition space for the designer’s work, including a library of 5.000 images, 180 fashion show videos, and a master class with Valentino himself. If the museum would really have been built, it would have been over 10.000 square meters.
Garavani Valentino fashion house was founded in 1959 in Rome. Nearly fifty years later, in 2008, he retired. He sees the online museum as part of his legacy.
