The name Valentino has been synonymous with high fashion for almost fifty years. Based in Rome, Valentino is only one of two couture houses recognized by the French government outside of Paris. His exquisite designs are coveted and worn by young Hollywood and high society the world over.

On the occasion of his last couture collection, presented in Paris in the spring of 2008, this landmark book celebrates forty-five years of Valentino's remarkable career. Published in association with a prestigious exhibition at the Museé des Arts Decoratifs's famed costume department in Paris, this volume focuses on Valentino's haute couture creations, highlighting the most important and iconic creations of his half-century in fashion through recurring themes in Valentino's work--variations on the ideas of volume, line, and texture as well as motifs such as geometry, pleats, and flowers--through new photography, sketches, fabric samples, and commentary on the dresses by Valentino himself. In addition, unprecedented photography by François Halard of Valentino's last fittings and backstage of his runway show reveals Valentino's private world for the first time. "Valentino On Valentino," a chapter of first-person accounts of the designs of these iconic dresses, along with Valentino's commentary on his fashion, will make this publication unique in the study of Valentino as a cultural and artistic icon.

I love this watch even though it has some really big flaws.
Color: Tan
I love this watch even though there are some major problems. The quality of the crystal is really clear. I love the way the dial looks. It is very easy to read analog hands. It has a lot of lume on the hands so reading the time at night is not a problem even without the illumination. The indices do not glow as bright but can be easily seen when you hit the light button. I like the colors on the dial as well. I do find the digital dispay to be small and obstructed by the light button. The digital display is also unreadable when you look straight on. It just appears black until you look at it at an angle. The worst part is that the light does not even illuminate the digital display. It is not a deal breaker for me as I don't play on using the digital functions when it is dark. Honestly, I probably am not going to be using the other functions other than time. Setting the analog time is annoying as you have to hold the button and wait until you get to the respective time and it only moves forward. Overall nice looking watch that seems well built. If you use the digital functions a lot this is probably not the watch for you.

My man loves it. He works construction and it has held up well so far. Carhartt does good work. Looks exactly like the picture, well made.
