"I love a beautiful Lady.

I love a beautiful dog.

I love a beautiful piece of furniture.

I love Beauty.

It is not my Fault."

Valentino Garavani




“I went to Via Veneto
with two friends,

&
at that moment


it was very, very beautiful—


all the Black Aristocracy from Rome &


the very important people.

I just saw VALENTINO-The Last Emperor. I know a bit late- But , the film's release includes some Not to be Missed Special Features: The Perfect Life: Around the World with Valentino-Here the camera wanders about with V.'s Major Domo at Chateau de Wideville, outside Paris. At his apartment in New York , near the Frick Museum, overlooking Central Park (designed by Peter Marino)-it is a scene so-of a bygone era-as the Major Domo prepares the apartment for Valentino's arrival. Sumptious is the Word.

other special films in the DVD are The Last Collection & A Red Dress.
