Product Description
Product Description
Valentino, is the name in Italian couture fashion, and has the longest-standing reputation as well, established since his debut in the early 1960s. His design for Jacqueline Kennedy's dress for her wedding to Aristotle Onassis, for example, graced magazine covers worldwide and cemented Valentino's reputation as fashion icon. The world's most fashionable women, including Princess Diana, Marie Chantal of Greece, Elizabeth Taylor, and Sharon Stone, have worn his exquisite creations. Published on the occasion of the Valentino group's fortieth anniversary, this deluxe edition, packaged in a cloth box with both English and Italian text, attempts to understand the success of Valentino and explores the critical moments in the fashion group's history. Beginning with a celebration of Valentino's signature color red, the book includes photographs created expressly for this book from the world's finest photographers, including Ellen von Unwerth, Herb Ritts, Patrick Demarchelier, and Annie Liebovitz. Among the subjects photographed are Salma Hayek, Ashley Judd, Claudia Schiffer, Elle Macpherson, Julianne Moore, Rene Russo, Elizabeth Hurley, and Naomi Campbell.

Remarkable Design,
By A Customer
This review is from: Valentino (Hardcover)
I absolutely love this. There are tons of fashion books out there, but this one really fits because it is, in and of itself, a remarkable feat of design. A book this beautiful, on a designer this important, is sure to become a collector's item.

Great photos but pricey,
By A Customer
This review is from: Valentino (Hardcover)
This boxed set features three items. A book full of photos of Valentino's work. This book is fabulous but it could have more items featured. The next book is just photos of celebrities wearing Valentino, I wish it had text. Then there is a newspaper with photos of celebrities wearing Valentino at different social gatherings. For the amount of money this book does not live up to standards but as for appearance, it is quality. A great amount of detail went in to packaging this boxed set. This is a great conversation piece and is worth a gander.
