Lot Essay

It's impossible to talk about style when the person in question is André. I met him in the 70's, when he was always in the cooridors of The Factory, and he already had his own precise style. Very beige, lots of fur, lots of hats... having followed his career and worked with him, it was always a surprise to discover what he invented. How everything was extraordinary.

I don't know his house but I'm sure that that passionate and obessive search for style was translated into extraordinary rooms!

-Valentino
