Valentino: The Master of beautiful seduction
See more of the exhibit of Valentino’s fashion. You can see gowns, pictures, and designs, from the couture collections, and private designs, from a very close vantage point, at Somerset House, London.
A look at Valentino’s illustrious career from the first show at the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy, to the most beautiful runway shows.

The exhibit is organized in three parts.
The first, shows personal photos and momentos of the designer, invitations to the fashion shows.
Then, a full size runway stage allows the viewer to see some of the most beautiful creations of the designer as on a Defilée.
The third, shows the wedding dress of Crown Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece, a video with scenes from the atelier shows “behind the scene” footage from the creation of a commissioned piece.
If you are in London now, and have time see the exhibit: Valentino: Master of Couture at Somerset House.
I will have a lot more to say about Valentino’s fashions, show you about the Virtual Museum that showcases his work.
Enjoy,
Jasmin
