Valentino Garavani, often known simply as Valentino, is a legendary fashion designer and master couturier.

 

He founded his eponymous fashion house in Rome in the late 1950s and has since established an illustrious career designing for the world’s most glamorous women, from royalty to Hollywood icons, including Jackie O, Elizabeth Taylor and modern-day muses like Gwyneth Paltrow and Anne Hathaway.

 

From his start of designing dresses, Valentino and long-time business partner Giancarlo Giammetti built the Valentino brand into an international empire, now one of the most iconic fashion brands in the world, often associated with his signature color, “Valentino Red”.

 

Though Valentino retired from fashion in 2008, he continues to create and follow his passions.

 

Valentino: At the Emperor's Table features tablescapes, landscapes and lifestyle photographs of legendary fashion designer Valentino Garavani's homes and grounds. The oversized book in slipcase is printed on heavy, luxurious paper, with vivid photographs of gorgeous rooms, table settings, antiques, fabrics and landscapes as designed and used by Valentino.
