The Biggest Breakup: Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccoli
The duo who revitalised the house of Valentino after founder Valentino Garavani stepped down in 2007, parted ways when Chiuri exited the house in January following her appointment as creative director of Dior. They held their last show as co-creative directors in July, with a couture collection inspired by Shakespeare. Piccoli remains at Valentino, having staged a critically acclaimed solo debut for the house’s Spring/Summer 2017 show.
