Valentino Watches and Valentino Sunglasses Auction

June 26, 2010

Valentino has dressed some the world’s most beautiful woman and his name is synonymous with lavishness, class and high fashion. People from all walks of life are drawn to his designs because it expresses femininity without all the flowery effects. He made his mark on fashion by having a streamlined sense of construction that seems to accentuate the natural contours of a woman, while showcasing ornate craftsmanship that comes across as a delicate silhouette. Nothing Valentino has created appears over-the-top or flamboyant. It’s as if all of the finite details that went into a piece aren’t clear until you see it up close — what comes across as simple, is an intricate execution of highly crafted design. Simply said — Valentino is the definition of haute couture.

Celebrity fans range anywhere from Jackie O. to Jennifer Lopez, as he designed both their wedding gowns. Until his recent retirement, he had been creating high fashion garments since the 1960s and his clothing still dominates the red-carpet. Remember Julia Roberts dress when she accepted her Oscar? Valentino! He even perfected his own shade of red, known as Valentino Red.
