It's crazy to think about how much talent & hard work went into creating those exquisite gowns... he really was a perfectionist, wasn't he? 
Anyway, I'm gonna miss seeing what new Valentino masterpieces he'd come up with next 
Rest in peace, maestro

... what a legacy he leaves behind though! 
His commitment to perfection was so inspiring 
, it's no wonder women from all over the world looked up to him 
. I love how his gowns were like works of art 
, and that "Valentino red" shade is still iconic today 
... I can see why he was a constant guide for royals, first ladies & movie stars 
. His passing does leave a huge void in the fashion world

- that's what fashion should be all about! His life was definitely a luxury one 
. The thing is, Valentino's legacy isn't just about him, it's about the incredible women who wore his designs on the red carpet - they'll always be in our hearts 
. Can't believe we won't see his designs on runways and A-listers anymore 
...
I'm so over how outdated these old-school designers are still getting all the attention. Like, who needs a 93-year-old man's designs anymore? 
Can't we just move on to something new for once? And what's up with the "Valentino red" nonsense? It's just a shade of red... big deal! 
Valentino Garavani was a queenmaker 
. We'll miss his perfectionism and opulence, but his beautiful creations will forever be on our minds 
he was more than just a fashion designer, he was an artist, and his legacy will live on through his beautiful creations 
. His legacy is going to live on though, and I'm sure we'll see more designers taking inspiration from his exquisite taste and attention to detail 
. His designs were always so classic, yet totally on-trend - like, how does he do it? 
And can we talk about his sense of style for just a sec? That man knew how to put together an outfit that was both elegant and effortlessly cool 
). His legacy is going to live on, and that's so reassuring 
. but what's really sad is all his beautiful designs are still makin people feel like queens on the red carpet 
. And that quote "I know what women want - they want to be beautiful" is just so true, you feel me? 
, he was definitely a legend in the fashion world 
he was truly a legend of the fashion world 
? his designs were works of art, and it's crazy to think that we'll never see another collection from him 
. i'm loving all the tributes and photoshops on social media 
but at the same time, he made those red-carpet dresses for real women who just wanted to feel beautiful 
but I think that's what makes him a true fashion legend, he broke the rules and created something truly unique 
. It's crazy to think about all the iconic gowns he designed over the years - from Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' stunning lace wedding dress to Julia Roberts' Oscar-winning black and white column 
. The fact that his designs are still coveted today is a testament to his enduring legacy 
anyone else have one of those days where you're like "i need a fashion intervention"? also i was watching an old video of michelle obama wearing a valentino gown and it just reminded me how gorgeous she looks in that red dress 
? It's crazy how his legacy is still going to be felt in fashion even though he's gone 
I'm so grateful for all the iconic designs he left behind - my grandma still talks about how stunning she looked on his custom-made dresses back in the 80s
