Challenges & Successes
‘Valentino Forever’ pays homage to its founder Valentino Garavani and its still-unfolding heritage of Haute Couture excellence. One of the world’s largest fashion exhibitions ever consisted of over 230 unique pieces, celebrating the work of Valentino Garavani.
One challenge faced was how to design a wave curtain that could be hung without having to use a wave track. However, this was also the main success story; through lots of R&D, we were able to come up with a type of header that allowed the wave-type pleat with a stiff enough header to hold the shape.
