Valentino: Master of Couture is an exhibition at the Somerset House
co-organized by Valentino himself, who selected over 130 dresses
for the exhibition. The book focues as much on Valentino and his
glamorous lifestyle as it does on his legendary dressmaking
techniques and atelier. (The overwhelming success of Matt
Tyrnauer's film Valentino: The Last Emperor attests to the public's
hunger for "behind the scenes" glimpses of Valentino's life). The
designers had unprecedented access to Valentino's personal archive,
and the selected visual material includes personal photographs of
and by Valentino and his close circle (often with glamorous women
such as Jackie O., Elizabeth Taylor, Lee Radziwill, and the like)
in his art-filled homes and at social events, giving the book the
feel of a personal album and the viewer access to a unique life.
The catalog also includes two photographic portfolios by Deborah
Turbeville and Cathleen Naundorf, showing Valentino at work. A
number of dresses in the exhibition sprinkled throughout the
catalog rounds out this intimate look at the life of a design
legend.
