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.

Sprayer broke second use
Color: White, Size: 3.72 fl oz
Beautiful but the sprayer stopped working after second application. No matter what I do to try to fix, it won’t. So now I can’t use it.

The glow is gorgeous and not over the top
Color: 100ml #03-Bronze Gold
If you want that golden hour shimmer without looking like a disco ball, this body oil is it. I got it for a beach trip and ended up using it almost every day since. It gives your skin the prettiest bronzy glow with just enough sparkle to catch the light without feeling glittery or sticky. It blends in super smoothly and actually makes my skin look healthier. I’ve used it on my collarbones, shoulders, and even mixed a tiny bit into my foundation when I want that sun-kissed look. The scent is light and pretty too, not overpowering at all. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts. Plus it doesn’t transfer all over my clothes, which is a major win. If you love that radiant summer look or want to fake a tan without streaks, you’ll love this. Would totally buy again. Feels like a mini vacation in a bottle.
