## Description

Genius, Glamour, And Magnificent Gowns Valentino Garavani: the greatest name in Italian couture Think Valentino: think luxury. Think elegance. This book traces the illustrious career of fashion’s most exciting couturier through copious images from his archives, including drawings, magazine editorial shoots, advertisements, portraits, and documentary photographs to provide an in-depth look at the man, his lifestyle, and his genius. For almost half a century Valentino dominated Italian haute couture, dressing the world’s wealthiest and most glamorous women. Only a few years after opening his fashion house in Rome in 1959, Valentino could already count Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, and Audrey Hepburn among his devotees. Despite his retirement in 2007 little has changed; his brand continues to thrive and prosper, and is worn by celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez. Valentinohas always designed magnificent gowns, never wavering from his signature style despite fads like grunge, deconstruction, and minimalism. This book traces Valentino’s illustrious career through copious images from his archives, including drawings, magazine editorial shoots, advertisements, portraits, and documentary photographs. Presented chronologically, the visual material is accompanied by a vast array of newspaper and magazine articles about Valentino throughout the years. Combined, they provide an in-depth look at the man, his lifestyle, and his genius.
