I have always been a fan of the Valentino brand, most especially when Mr. Valentino was designing. Since he retired (at the age of 75, after 40 years of design, by the way!), I haven’t been wholly awed or inspired by the collections. That said, I can’t imagine for the life of me following in his footsteps. I mean, really?
By the way, in the event that you haven’t seen it, I HIGHLY recommend the Valentino documentary, Valentino: The Last Emperor. It is a major Silver Lining and utterly entertaining!
Oh yes and hallelujah! Beautiful post and beautiful clothes and I can see your beautiful self in all of them.
