Published by Rizzoli, it features exclusive backstage photography, fabric samples, sketches, and Valentino’s personal commentary, offering an unparalleled look into the artistry and themes that define his iconic designs. A definitive volume for fashion professionals, enthusiasts, and collectors alike. ## 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: Livro para colecionador de arte e beleza. - Livro maravilhoso, fotografias perfeitas. Um livro perfeito para decorar e pra quem ama moda e arte. Vale o investimento. Belíssimo! Review: Stunning Early Valentino. Terrible Presentation - Valentino is a romantic of the fashion industry, you can see the love affair in his work, even today, his collections are for the most part unchanged. If you love early Valentino (especially if you are a fashion student) this book is a MUST have in your library. With that being said, let's get to the negative, there are 62 blank pages, the publisher, Rizzoli, are notorious for this lazy editorial style of presentation, for such a premium priced product, I don't expect 20% of the pages to be void of content. I can handle a few in a book, but 60+ pages is an utter joke, my advice to any purchasing this book, do so when it's heavily reduced in price, otherwise you are just being ripped off. ## Features - Rizzoli ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,344,622 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5,327 in Lifestyle & Personal Style Guides (Books) #8,044 in Photography Books #9,664 in Design & Fashion (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 688 Reviews | ## Images ![Valentino: Themes and Variations - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91cn1C7zIFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Livro para colecionador de arte e beleza. *by A***Z on 22 January 2026* Livro maravilhoso, fotografias perfeitas.
