The name Valentino has been synonymous with high fashion for almost
fifty years. Based in Rome, Valentino is only one of two couture
houses recognized by the French government outside of Paris. His
exquisite designs are coveted and worn by young Hollywood and high
society the world over. On the occasion of his last couture
collection, presented in Paris in the spring of 2008, this landmark
book celebrates forty-five years of Valentino's remarkable career.
Published in association with a prestigious exhibition at the Musee
des Arts Decoratifs's famed costume department in Paris, this
volume focuses on Valentino's haute couture creations, highlighting
the most important and iconic creations of his half-century in
fashion through recurring themes in Valentino's work--variations on
the ideas of volume, line, and texture as well as motifs such as
geometry, pleats, and flowers--through new photography, sketches,
fabric samples, and commentary on the dresses by Valentino himself.
In addition, unprecedented photography by Francois Halard of
Valentino's last fittings and backstage of his runway show reveals
Valentino's private world for the first time. "Valentino On
Valentino," a chapter of first-person accounts of the designs of
these iconic dresses, along with Valentino's commentary on his
fashion, will make this publication unique in the study of
Valentino as a cultural and artistic icon.
