Six Pugs - Margot, Maude, Monty, Molly, Milton, and Maggie - became part of Valentino's fashion-world story.
EDITORIAL ILLUSTRATIONThe Pugs of High Fashion
Valentino Garavani's public image was closely associated with Pugs, and the dogs became part of the fashion designer's recognizable world. The story is about a group of companions rather than one invented canine personality.
Six Names
Accounts of Valentino's Pugs identify Margot, Maude, Monty, Molly, Milton, and Maggie. The names are a useful reminder that famous Pug stories can be about a household of dogs, not only a single star.
Oliver and the Label
Earlier coverage also connects Valentino's Pug Oliver with the designer's Oliver clothing line. That connection belongs to the documented fashion story; individual personalities and pedigrees should not be invented beyond what reputable reporting supports.
