In conversations with journalists Valentino recalls his youth. He was 18 years old at the time, he had moved from his native Italy to Paris, hoping to conquer the capital of fashion. On business, he was sent to Barcelona, where he got to the opening of the season at the Opera House "del Liceu." Young Valentine was struck by the surrounding splendor and beauty. The interior of the theater was dominated by red velvet, many ladies were dressed in evening gowns red. It made a strong impression on Valentino, even then he decided that if he becomes well-known designer, be sure to use in their work the red.
Valentino said that the red color to the face of any woman. Designer laments the fact that women are so rarely used, preferring clothes of dark tones.

The little black dress folds under the bright fiery onslaught. "Life, death, passion, the best way to end the anguish - that is red. A woman in a red can not tear his eyes "- philosophically remarked designer.
