Valentino

He is truly a legend and a visionary.

For $9, I got to see the best of his works.

Remarkable.

The first piece that caught my eye, was this flora motif silk dress. It is as relevant today as it was in 1966.

On the same note, Jacqueline Kennedy’s wedding gown was completed with the same simplicity and chicness.

Due to Jacqueline’s highly publicised wedding, Valentino became an overnight hit with the international media.

A women dressed in black and white is for me a sort of sign, a writing, a calligraphy - Valentino.

Now, I was swooning over this gown worn by Julia Roberts.

Call it the chase for the perfect silhouette. The back of Julia’s dress draw’s one attention to the arch of the back. That’s really sexy.

With the same designer instinct to bring out the best in women, this yellow dress worn by Cate Blanchett tugged the heart-strings of many.

Speaking about colour. Red is Valentino’s signature.

Stunning.

The detailing is impeccable.

Likewise for this thoroughly embellished black-and-white dress.

I did say impeccable right? Can you imagine painstakingly stitching every single bead onto this dress?

It would probably take me 5 years to get this right. Or maybe a lifetime?

Gorgeous, gorgeous.

Moving on deeper into the gallery.

Valentino was truly a man before his time.

This was made in 1961? It’s so Old Hollywood glamour.

And this little black dress? 1961.

Seriously this man deserves the praises he is given.

And what better way to end the gallery with my favourite dress. This was made in 1959. Can you believe that?
