About the Item

Published by Franco Maria Ricci Editore, 1st edition, Milan, 1982. Hardback with Italian and English text. This very scarce catalogue is numbered 415 among only 600 copies published in 1982. This beautiful publication is made possible by the concerted effort of Franco Maria Ricci’s directive guidance and Valentino archives’ general offering of rare couture sketches, many of them have never been seen before. Grouped by thematic illustrations, Valentino has created an array of soft, romantic feminine ideals that are unparalleled in the history of fashion. Synonymous with luxe, refinement, and splendid art decoratif, this book celebrates the amazing creative genius of Casa Valentino. Dimensions: 23 x 34.5 x 2 cm Condition: Very Good.
