Valentino Garavani tells how he was captivated one evening by this color. “Among all the colors worn by other women, she appeared unique to me, isolated in her splendor. She became the red goddess. Fabulous. I believe that a woman dressed in red is always magnificent, she is the perfect image of the heroine in the midst of the crowd.”
No one understands red better than Valentino. In a wide-ranging celebration and exploration of the Italian Maison’s relationship with the color, Valentino draws on more than fifty years of fashion’s most meticulously preserved archives for a definitive catalogue raisonné featuring more than 180 of the most iconic dresses and accessories from the Maison Valentino, from legendary silk ball gowns and haute couture silk chiffon creations to calfskin pumps and buckled belts with antique brass hardware.
Spanning the eras of Valentino Garavani through to current Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli, the title illustrates Valentino’s unrivaled connection with one of the most passionate, seductive, powerful and culturally symbolic colors in the world.
