Just heard about a stunning book coming out in October: "Una Grande Storia Italiana, Valentino Garavani" published by Taschen (of course), with fashion legends Suzy Menkes (the feared and revered fashion editor of the IHT) and Matt Tyrnauer (Vanity Fair) typing away on the beloved Italian couturier. Like anything fabulous and desirable it is a limited edition (2,000 copies signed by Valentino himself) and a bit on the pricey side… But the wow effect is guarantee…
This one just makes me want to relax on the couch and calm down the entire room, perfect for the coffee table:
