1 week agoThe life of Valentino, the master of the color red, in pictures
Valentino entered haute couture in 1973. It was uncommon for an Italian designer to pass through the sacrosanct filter of the Paris Chambre Syndicale, which safeguards fashion as part of France's cultural heritage. For nearly three decades, he presented collections in the French capital on a regular basis. The 1991 show (pictured) was among the most memorable: the supermodels of the era Naomi, Claudia, Helena, and others walked the runway in those sculptural yet comfortable gowns that were his hallmark.
