Highly rated and ranked among top fashion photography and history books, it serves as both an inspiring gift and a collector’s item for professionals passionate about fashion design. ## Description 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 Museé 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 François 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. Review: I almost hesitated spending this kind of money on any book even though this book is worth much more! - I almost hesitated spending this kind of money on any book even though this book is worth much more! So glad I did! It is positively gorgeous! It arrived just now and in mint condition and quickly! I won’t even unselect quite yet as I’m waiting till after my late summer paint job to do so! I’m sure the contents is as beautiful as the cover! Definitely not for a bookshelf because it will not fit unless you have a wide shelf and can lay it flat. It’s a table top book. You sure don’t want to hide this book! Review: Another Perfect Gift - My daughter is a fashion designer who also collects books on the subject. This makes for an easy gift idea each birthday. I always aim to purchase books that are visually pleasing ... with stunning photography in a well designed format, beautifully printed on quality paper. This book did not disappoint. It is absolutely lovely! I must admit that I did not spend a great deal of time reading the content, and I have not discussed it with the recipient since. I can say that when she opened her gift, she was extremely pleased and fascinated with the subject matter. She is eager to learn more about Valentino. Becoming well-versed about historic designers is something she aspires to and admires in her older colleagues. She also agreed that the book is a lovely piece of art, very suitable for display. I am very pleased with the purchase! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #40,576 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #15 in Fashion Photography (Books) #39 in Fashion History #68 in Fashion Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 710 Reviews | ## Images ![Valentino: Themes and Variations - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91cn1C7zIFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I almost hesitated spending this kind of money on any book even though this book is worth much more! *by B***. on June 15, 2021* I almost hesitated spending this kind of money on any book even though this book is worth much more!
