Antonio Grimaldi for those who love fashion and the good stories is a true legend. His exciting life shows that there is always space in this world to be truly themselves and even more. Lonile

Loneliness is a strange kind of freedom, but for an artist it's a necessary freedom. Creatively and psychologically.

When an artistic marriage ends sometimes the best moments and the worst of life may coincide. This is the paradox of a farewell.

The ' farewell in this case was with Sylvio Giardina, an extraordinary couturier with which Antonio Grimaldi dominated the scene of Roman high fashion with the brand Grimaldi Giardina since 1998 until 2010, coming to be invited by the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture to show their amazing fashion collections in Paris for three unforgettable seasons.

They say that at the hour of the meeting and at the hour of farewell the feelings of a man is always more pure and glowing.

It surely must have been really exciting create, launch and impose a own high fashion brand in so much exclusive, elitist and competitive world such as that of haute couture. Pure adrenaline.

Likewise truly intense it must have been the time to pack his pride because every choice in life is a gamble.

Antonio Grimaldi is known for his artistic and human sensibility that is reflected in his ethereal and delicate creations that are like floating poems on the catwalk.

Antonio Grimaldi just use with masterful taste one special detail to make unique a dress. He maybe remember the great lesson of father of contemporary architecture Mies Van der Rohe that, perfectly agree with the writer Gustave Flaubert, used to say that "God is in the details".
