Review of Valentino: The Last Emperor (2008) by Dai W — 04 Jan 2010

Very interesting and engrossing documentary about the king of evening wear. It's not only visually stunning (the clothes! the chalet in gstaad! that yacht!) but it provides a very intriguing look into what is quite possibly the longest and strongest relationship in the fashion world; that of Giammetti the the ego-maniacal but supremely talented Valentino.

.. all set against the high drama of big business and bigger hair. Not to be missed.
