To have a colour named after you is one of the highest accolades in fashion. Valentino Garavani
is one such icon. Since the founding of the House of Valentino in 1950s Rome Garavani has been
celebrated for the desirability of his designs. His stunning gowns in his signature Valentino
Red have been sought after by the jet set for over half a century and still signify the very
epitome of red carpet glamour. Little Book of Valentino tells the story of this most elegant of
brands. Beginning with Garavani's initiation into the world of haute couture in 1950s Paris
progressing through the glittering social scene of 1970s New York and Valentino's domination of
Hollywood from the 1980s to the present day images of every dazzling era are beautifully
reproduced alongside text exploring the significance of each stunning piece.
