I saw this movie in a local theatre and it was far better than I expected. Although there is a lot about fashion, I found the most light-hearted and funny moments about Valentino’s relationship with Giancarlo. They are such a great couple…. they complete each other and their ‘married’ style of bickering made me laugh a lot. Wonderful fashions, lots of celebrities, and yes, the special pugs that seem to take over everything! Definately can’t wait until 08 September for the DVD to be released!
Here is how haute couture is made. Valentino employed 100 seamstresses and owned one sewing machine (which no one would use). In the film, you see how each dress was lovingly designed and assembled and how the 45+ year partnership of Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giametti produced runway show after runway show. These partners clearly inspire the love and loyalty of their staff.
You see the sense of style that pervades the life. The entertaining, the travel, the pampered pets.
While the film is a fully positive portrait of this marvelous fashion house and its two leaders, the future looms. The company was sold in 1998 (and then again). The corporate owners don’t appreciate the art and want more handbags, shoes and ready to wear. There are glimpses of this pressure as the film leads up to Rome’s “45 Years of Valentino”, a retrospective with pageantry worthy of its subject.
The film has a genuine quality. Some shots, being candid, won’t have the perfect balance and people hesitate in speech. You see the tension in the preparation for big shows.
While others will not appreciate the film, if you are interested in the art of fashion, this is a must see.
I Saw this film TWICE in NYC when it was in private small theaters and I still have parts which I would like to rewind and play again!!…Not a film for fashion interests only…it is funny and a good cultural film as well…course if you are into fashion this is a must buy!
