Synopsis
For almost half a century Valentino dominated Italian haute couture, dressing the world’s wealthiest and most glamorous women. Only a few years after opening his fashion house in Rome in 1959, Valentino could already count Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, and Audrey Hepburn among his devotees. Despite his retirement in 2007 little has changed; his brand continues to thrive and prosper, and is worn by celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez. Valentino has always designed magnificent gowns, never wavering from his signature style despite fads like grunge, deconstruction, and minimalism.
This book traces Valentino’s illustrious career through copious images from his archives, including drawings, magazine editorial shoots, advertisements, portraits, and documentary photographs. Presented chronologically, the visual material is accompanied by a vast array of newspaper and magazine articles about Valentino throughout the years. Combined, they provide an in-depth look at the man, his lifestyle, and his genius.

Gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Seit fast einem halben Jahrhundert dominiert Valentino die italienische Haute Couture und kleidet die reichsten und berühmtesten Frauen ein. 1959 eröffnete er sein Modeatelier in Rom und erreichte bereits wenige Jahre später den Gipfel des Ruhmes; Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy und Audrey Hepburn zählten zu seinen Verehrerinnen. Obwohl er sich 2007 aus dem Geschäft zurückzogen hat, gehört sein Label nach wie vor zu den berühmtesten der Welt und wird von der Top-Prominenz getragen, von Gwyneth Paltrow bis J. Lo. Valentino hat nie seinen typischen Stil verraten, auch nicht, als Grunge, Dekonstruktion und andere kurzlebige Trends angesagt waren. Dieser Band würdigt die ungewöhnliche Karriere Valentinos mit einer umfangreichen Auswahl an Bildern aus den Archiven des Couturiers, darunter auch Zeichnungen, Aufnahmen für Zeitschriften, Anzeigen, Valentino-Porträts und dokumentarische Fotografien. Das chronologisch präsentierte Bildmaterial wird durch zahlreiche Zeitungsartikel und Zeitschriftenbeiträge ergänzt, die im Laufe der Jahrzehnte über Valentino erschienen sind. Alles zusammen ermöglicht einen detaillierten Blick auf den Menschen, sein Leben und sein Schaffen. 576 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # INF1001461943
