drawn after i watched in awe, at the story of Valentino: The Last Emperor
i'll try and describe not only how beautiful the dresses and all around fashion shows were, but the story of Valentino himself and his buisness partner of over 40 years (who seems like his life partner and actually always had been) was truly touching. Giancarlo Giammetti has been quoted saying "Ours was not a story of money or fashion. It was a story of love. There has never been an article about us in this sense. I think the world has changed a lot, and that once it would have been embarrassing to read but it's not any more."
i loved their story! it was sweet to see the way they treated each other like every other normal couple does, you know the fixing of ones tanner, the checking of the outfits before going out and bringing flowers to your loved one (even before his monumental fashion show ^__^ )! the Pugs were sooooo CUTE too!
in all the film itself, is produced wonderfully, the fashion show is a sight worth seeing and . . .
Valentino is my FAVORITE DESIGNER and i love him and his beautiful story of love, a wonderful life, all his gorgeous fashion houses, and the story of the last emperor of a truly beautiful empire that many will cherish for decades to come! :)
