Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti have been partners in life and business for over 45 years. This video gives a brief insight into why their relationship works: spending time together, being honest (brutally at times) and knowing what is most important in your life. These are ideas that can be applied to all relationships.

The video footage comes from Valentino: The Last Emperor (2008) and includes a great scene of honesty in a car ride in Rome and Valentino being awarded the Legion d'Honneur in Paris.
I too admired Valentino, until I saw the film. An insufferable little man.
