Pamela Golbin, with a foreword by Valentino Garavani

The name Valentino has been synonymous with high fashion for almost 50 years. The first couture house recognised by the French government outside of Paris, Valentino’s exquisite designs are coveted and worn by young Hollywood and high society the world over. This publication focuses on Valentino’s haute couture creations, highlighting the most important and iconic creations of his 49-year career through recurring themes in Valentino’s work. Featuring unprecedented photography by Francois Halard of Valentino’s last fittings and backstage of his runway show, this in-depth critical survey of Valentino’s contribution to French haute couture, as well as his role as the king of Italian fashion by the 2008 exhibition’s curator, Pamela Golbin, will ensure that this book is the definitive study on Valentino for years to come.
