His exquisite designs are coveted and worn by young Hollywood and high society the world over.

Published in association with a prestigious exhibition at the Muse des Arts Decoratifss famed costume department in Paris, this volume focuses on Valentinos haute couture creations, highlighting the most important and iconic creations of his half-century in fashion through recurring themes in Valentinos workvariations on the ideas of volume, line, and texture as well as motifs such as geometry, pleats, and flowersthrough new photography, sketches, fabric samples, and commentary on the dresses by Valentino himself. In addition, unprecedented photography by Franois Halard of Valentinos last fittings and backstage of his runway show reveals Valentinos private world for the first time.
