Valentino

Valentino Garavani is always my answer when I am asked who my favorite designer is. One of my favorite possessions is my Valentino: Themes and Variations book gifted to me by my boyfriend.


This book is a must for any Valentino fan, or anyone who is interested in fit, silhouette, or embellishment. I can always look through it for inspiration because there is always something new to discover upon closer inspection of the photographed garments. I think he was one of the best at making women look like women. His work is timeless. Whether it is clean and simple,

or embellished,
 Valentino always complimented the woman in the clothes rather than creating something that would pull focus away from the wearer. In my mind, he is the master of taste and elegance. I hope one day to be a fraction of the fashion icon he is.
