All you have to say is George Hamilton tan and an army of pugs and, immediately, I know you're talking about Valentino. And, while many know that the 76 year-old designer is famous for his lavish lifestyle and celebrity canoodling, what many don't stop to think about is the magnificent artist he actually is.But now, with Matt Tyrnauer's new bio-pic of the designer's life, you can watch him as he flits about his luxurious home, yacht, and spacious design studio all while he constantly thinks about fashion. While it may seem almost flippant to watch a movie about a rich, successful designer, Valentino: The Last Emperor is anything but. When the film debuted at the Venice Film Festival last year, it received rave reviews because it showcases not only Valentino's now legendary persona but also his incredible gift for designing beautiful couture.
So, go to the movies this weekend at check out this film. Even if you aren't a fashion lover per se, I assure you you'll be taken with Maude, Margot, Monty, Molly, Milton and Maggie (those would be the dogs).
