Valentino: Master of Couture is an exhibition at the Somerset House co-organized by Valentino himself, who selected over 130 dresses for the exhibition.
The
book focues as much on Valentino and his glamorous lifestyle as it does
on his legendary dressmaking techniques and atelier. (The overwhelming
success of Matt Tyrnauer’s film Valentino: The Last Emperor attests to the public’s hunger for “behind the scenes” glimpses of Valentino’s life).
The
designers had unprecedented access to Valentino’s personal archive, and
the selected visual material includes personal photographs of and by
Valentino and his close circle (often with glamorous women such as
Jackie O., Elizabeth Taylor, Lee Radziwill, and the like) in his
art-filled homes and at social events, giving the book the feel of a
personal album and the viewer access to a unique life.
The
catalog also includes two photographic portfolios by Deborah Turbeville
and Cathleen Naundorf, showing Valentino at work. A number of dresses in
the exhibition sprinkled throughout the catalog rounds out this
intimate look at the life of a design legend.
