&#39;Valentissimo! Viva Valentino!&#39; exclaimed Vogue, lauding the achievements of the first Italian dress designer to take on the Paris fashion world and achieve haute couture status.Drawing on Vogue&#39;s archive of imagery and text, as well as the author&#39;s exclusive interview with the designer, this book analyses Valentino&#39;s exceptional fusion of Latinate sensuality and Parisian precision. It shows how his inventive colour sense and use of opulent fabrics derived from Italian classical painting, and how his trust in and promotion of Italy&#39;s craftsmen and women is evident in his use of featherweight materials, handmade embroidery, beading and pleating.Valentino&#39;s early love of costumes worn by stars of the Italian and American film industry influenced his designs, and he attracted a superstar clientele, including Hollywood celebrities from Elizabeth Taylor to Gwyneth Paltrow, European royalty, and society figures such as Jaqueline Kennedy - who wore him in mourning, and in remarriage, at her wedding to Aristotle Onassis.Valentino is unique: the exquisite quality of his dressmaking and the femininity, glamour and allure of his seasonal collections are matchless; exceptionally in his field, he is known by his first name only; and he holds a record as the founder of a house who remained in creative control of it for 45 years.

A tortured genius and one of most influential designers of the twentieth century, Yves Saint Laurent was responsible for revolutionising the way women dressed and viewed themselves.During a wildly creative career stretching from 1958 to 2002 Saint Laurent established a reputation for accessible, flawlessly cut clothes. He became an overnight sensation in 1958, aged 21, when he showed his &#39;Trapeze&#39; collection, his first for the House of Christian Dior, following the master&#39;s death.Four years later, Saint Laurent opened his own couture house and within a few seasons was hailed by Vogue&#39;s Diana Vreeland as &#39;the pied piper of fashion&#39;. Viewed as a master colourist and admired for his choice of sultry fabrics, his great gift was creating lasting styles - described by Vogue as &#39;stockpiles of essentials in times of famine&#39; - that flattered all shapes and sizes. As well as designing wardrobe classics like the &#39;Le Smoking&#39; tuxedo for women, the Safari jacket, the trench and the pea coat, and introducing trousers into haute couture, he also dressed international style icons such as Catherine Deneuve, Marella Agnelli and Lauren Bacall.With his nose for the zeitgeist, Saint Laurent recognised the global power of street fashion and launched Rive Gauche, his ready-to-wear boutique line in 1966. Christened &#39;The Saint&#39; by Vogue, every element of his fashion empire, which included exhilarating couture collections, exquisite accessories and sought-after perfumes, was captured by Vogue&#39;s writers and leading photographers like Richard Avedon, David Bailey and Norman Parkinson.
