Beauty — the guiding principle of Valentino's work — now becomes his universal legacy. «I love beauty, it is not my fault», the phrase with which he always justified his aesthetic genius, is reproduced on a large mirrored surface at the entrance to the exhibition Venus-Valentino Garavani through the eyes of Joana Vasconcelos.
The great couturier's creative universe is joined by the contemporary gaze of the Portuguese artist, in a dialogue that is perfectly harmonious and coherent.
