Sassi told Reuters after the Valentino brand spring/summer womenswear show: "we don't have a problem of repaying debt at this time. It is something that is long term."

Valentino's next debt repayment is in 2015, he said.

He added that sales of the Valentino brand in U.S. department stores were going better than last year.
