Pierpaolo Piccioli has just shared his thoughts on his departure from Maison Valentino, and it is heartbreaking. Piccioli joined Maria Grazia Chiuri (Creative Director of Dior) as joint Creative Director in 2008 and has solely taken the brand forward since 2016.
In his statement on Instagram, the icon mentioned his 25-year career with Valentino, wonderful colleagues, people he has met along his journey to Director, acceptance by global fashion communities and how much he appreciates his loyalists.
In a lasting statement, Piccioli said, "Stay with me, you who know who you are because it is to you that I am writing, to you who I owe this legacy of love which is stainless and perpetual".
The Director thanked Mr. Valentino and Giancarlo Giammetti, two instrumental beings in his success at Maison Valentino. Pierpaolo said he feels "Young and free and full of dreams".
Where will PP go next?
