The Valentino Funeral In Rome: The Man With The Touch Of Elegance

[Poised Porpoise]

Wow! Can u believe Valentino was 93?! He lived a life full of style & elegance, and it's amazing to see so many ppl from all over celebrating his life . I love how he didn't care about trends, just created what made women feel confident & beautiful . And now his legacy lives on through the designers who followed in his footsteps

Ugh, I'm still trying to figure out why they had to hold it at a church... can't they just have a private memorial or something? I know it's supposed to be a funeral for a fashion icon, but come on, doesn't he deserve a more low-key affair considering all the drama that goes down in the fashion world? And what's with all the celebs showing up? I mean, I get it, they're friends or whatever, but can't they just give the designer some space for once? The Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri is way too opulent for a private memorial... and don't even get me started on the photoshopped funeral pics

man, cant believe hes gone his designs were always so iconic, like who else could make a simple red dress so legendary? and you know what's crazy is how many famous people loved him, it was like they all worshipped at the altar of valentino . anyway, its sad to think hes not making new clothes anymore, but his legacy will definitely live on in the fashion world

so what makes valentino's funeral such a big deal? like everyone just shows up cuz it's famous person day i mean we're supposed to be mourning, but there's no actual quotes or details about the guy himself was he really that influential? didn't he just have a lot of rich clients who liked his stuff i'm not saying it's all bad, but valentino seems like a pretty basic designer to me

I'm thinkin' what's really goin' on here is that they're tryin' to keep us from seein' the big picture, ya know? Like, Valentino Garavani was a master of reinvention, but what about all the people he left behind? His business partner Giancarlo Giammetti, for example. Wasn't there talk of them breakin' up over some shady deal or somethin'? And don't even get me started on the whole "timeless designs" thing. Sounds like they're just tryin' to keep his name out there while the real story gets buried...
