Valentino: Themes and Variations

Nice

Looks great with my Louboutin book on my dresser

I am pretty picky about Haute Couture books, as for my taste, I always want the focus on the gown unless otherwise stated- I’ve tried several and many have gone back because they weren’t done well- this is an exquisite book! It not only highlights the gowns, has beautiful print, and I love how just as it would be in an exhibit, it names what each gown entails / simply perfect !

Condition of book better than described. Will shop with again

Perfect addition to my spring designer collection.

I almost hesitated spending this kind of money on any book even though this book is worth much more!So glad I did! It is positively gorgeous! It arrived just now and in mint condition and quickly! I won’t even unselect quite yet as I’m waiting till after my late summer paint job to do so! I’m sure the contents is as beautiful as the cover! Definitely not for a bookshelf because it will not fit unless you have a wide shelf and can lay it flat. It’s a table top book. You sure don’t want to hide this book!

My daughter is a fashion designer who also collects books on the subject. This makes for an easy gift idea each birthday. I always aim to purchase books that are visually pleasing ... with stunning photography in a well designed format, beautifully printed on quality paper. This book did not disappoint. It is absolutely lovely! I must admit that I did not spend a great deal of time reading the content, and I have not discussed it with the recipient since. I can say that when she opened her gift, she was extremely pleased and fascinated with the subject matter. She is eager to learn more about Valentino. Becoming well-versed about historic designers is something she aspires to and admires in her older colleagues. She also agreed that the book is a lovely piece of art, very suitable for display. I am very pleased with the purchase!

Love this book
