Graduate scores job with Valentino

ADELAIDE: An Adelaide designer has scored his dream job working with legendary Italian design maestro Valentino.

Twenty-five-year-old Adrian Costanzo, a graduate of TAFE SA's Marleston Campus, had his first day at Valentino's fashion house in Milan yesterday, according to News Limited reports.

Costanzo, who moved to Milan last year to complete a masters degree in fashion, will design Valentino's menswear line.

He will be among the last to study under the 75-year-old designer with Valentino retiring in January after more than 45 years in the industry.
