VALENTINO, THEMES ET VARIATIONS
Audrey Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, Elizabeth Taylor and Jackie Kennedy are just a few of the personalities who chose to don themselves with the creations of Valentino Garavani over the last half century. Without a doubt, this Italian fashion marvel has left an indelible mark on the style legacy of the 20th century, and continues to do so in this unique retrospective exhibition. Coming just five months after his grand farewell to Paris, ‘Valentino - Thémes et Variations' celebrates 48 years of fashion history. Charting Valentino's illustrious career from the opening of his first Salon in Rome in 1959 through his receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006, the exhibition showcases some 200 of his most inspired creations. Elegant, sophisticated, modern and classic, this representative compilation of a life's work is a feast for the eyes for any fashion enthusiast. TM
