Valentino: The Last Emperor
The best way to design a dress for a woman is to never ask her want she wants.
In fact, the only person that the dressmaker in this documentary listens to is his business partner.
Filmed over the final years of his career in the fashion industry, enigmatic designer Valentino Garavani reluctantly opens up the doors of his illustrious fashion house to the public for the first time as he preps to hang up his shears for good.
Archival footage documenting his early beginnings in Italy to his rise in popularity amongst Hollywood starlets, like Elizabeth Taylor, is interwoven with scenes of his last show in 2008, as well as in-depth interviews with some of those aforementioned celebrities, fellow designers, critics and Valentino's longtime business partner Giancarlo Giammetti to construct one compelling biography.
Moreover, Valentino is proof that a man can design a dress for a woman that isn't see-through. Green Light
