"I love a beautiful Lady.
I love a beautiful dog.
I love a beautiful piece of furniture.
I love Beauty.
It is not my Fault."
Valentino Garavani
“I went to Via Veneto
with two friends,
&
at that moment
it was very, very beautiful—
all the Black Aristocracy from Rome &
the very important people.
Sophia Loren,
Gina Lollobrigida,
Marcello Mastroianni,
Fellini
Anita Ekberg,
Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton
used to go there. "
Giacarlo Giametti
I just saw VALENTINO-The Last Emperor. I know a bit late- But , the film's release includes some Not to be Missed Special Features: The Perfect Life: Around the World with Valentino-Here the camera wanders about with V.'s Major Domo at Chateau de Wideville, outside Paris. At his apartment in New York , near the Frick Museum, overlooking Central Park (designed by Peter Marino)-it is a scene so-of a bygone era-as the Major Domo prepares the apartment for Valentino's arrival. Sumptious is the Word.
other special films in the DVD are The Last Collection & A Red Dress.
