For nearly half a century, Valentino Garavani dominated Italian haute couture, dressing the richest and most glamorous women in the world. Just a few years after opening his store in Rome in 1959, he already counted Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, and Audrey Hepburn among his devotees. Despite his retirement in 2008 and his death in 2026, little has changed; his brand continues to grow and thrive and is worn by celebrities such as Emma Roberts, Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, and Lady Gaga.

Valentino has always designed magnificent dresses, never wavering in his personal style despite trends like grunge, deconstruction, minimalism, or the unstoppable rise of athleisure. This book traces his illustrious career through abundant images from his archives, including sketches, editorial magazine photos, advertisements, portraits, and documentary photographs. Presented chronologically, the splendid visual material is accompanied by a wide selection of newspaper and magazine articles about Valentino over the years. Together, they provide a detailed portrait of the man, his environment, and his enduring creative legacy.
