After seeing the Valentino Exhibition in Brisbane this year, I was inspired to purchase this book. He is truly a genius and the garments are pieces of art. This book captures the beauty of Valentino's designs and the photographs really show the amazing detail in each piece. This book is a must for all fashion lovers and is a lovely coffee table book.
Beautiful book for those looking for design inspiration or those that just love beautiful clothes cause this book has those by the ton. And i think the Idea of calling this book a coffee table book a little offensive i think its much much more then that.
