V For Valentino

Called Valentino Garavani: Una Grande Storie Italiana, Taschen's 738-page epic comes in a luxurious clamshell box in Valentino's signature red and is limited to just 2,100 numbered copies, all of which are signed by the man himself. Featuring precious archived images, drawings, magazine shoots, advertisements, portraits of Valentino and documentary photographs, as well as text from past press articles and specially-commissioned collaborators, the treasured tome contains everything you need to know about one of Italy's most influential clothes horses. Known for his stunning dresses, many of which have graced the voluptuous bodies of Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez, Valentino's flare for design is evident on pretty much every red carpet event. Priced at 1,000 euros, this beautiful bible is for diehard devotees and slaves to fashion only (which is probably why David Beckham picked one up for his wife's birthday last year).
