With this show he proved to me that he can do Valentino!

I’m still a bit underwhelmed about the bass though. Are they selling, anyone knows?

Valentino’s $100 Million Lifeline​

Reuters is reporting that Valentino co-owners Mayhoola and Kering are injecting an additional $100 million into the brand, which has struggled to achieve profitability in recent years.
As a refresher: Kering is supposed to assume control of Valentino from Mayhoola, but the deadline got pushed back again when new C.E.O. Luca de Meo arrived in September.

The cash infusion also comes amid questions surrounding Alessandro Michele’s future at the company—although, for what it’s worth, his last collection was well-received and performed with certain retailers, and the problems at Valentino predated his arrival.
Perhaps this capital injection is an opportunity for new Valentino C.E.O. Riccardo Bellini to make things right with his creative director.
