Valentino's Magic

Format: Hardback

Condition: Poor Condition — £74.46
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Known for his personal philosophy of impeccable taste, Valentino originated an aesthetic that continues to be an inspiration for fashion today. After leaving his hometown of Voghera at age 15, Valentino Garavani not only became the couturier he dreamed of being but came to define the very word. The legendary motifs of his designs organize this book into a visual symphony.

Stunning photographs illustrate his themes, featuring the most notable names in fashion photography -- Helmut Newton, Irving Penn, Steven Meisel, among others -- the most recognized models, including Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington, and the most famous of the glitterati, from Jacqueline Onassis to Elizabeth Taylor. Including more than 300 fashion sketches that date back to 1960, this comprehensive, beautiful book is a fitting tribute to the art of Valentino.
