Created in collaboration with an exhibition at Paris’s Musée des Arts Décoratifs, it showcases Valentino’s most significant designs through themes of volume, line, texture, and signature motifs like pleats, florals, and geometry. Featuring new photography, sketches, fabric samples, and personal commentary from Valentino himself, the book offers rare insight into his creative process.

Intimate behind-the-scenes images by François Halard capture the designer’s final fittings and runway moments, while first-person reflections further illuminate his enduring influence—making this a definitive tribute to Valentino as both a cultural and artistic icon.
