Oh Valentino.

Valentino has retired from the fashion industry. After 45 years of glorious collections and unlimited elegance the titan of fashion has presented his last collection in a festive environment. The dresses are breathtaking, they are the pinnacle of craftsmanship, great design and femininity.

Valentino’s fashion shows are about fashion, they are not the entertaining shows of some of his peers. It is easy for most women to imagine themselves wearing his clothes. Last year I saw some of his designs in a museum, as with all high fashion, they were not only beautiful, but so detail oriented that it is difficult to believe that those dresses can still be made today.

Look at the details of these pictures from his collection. You can see the whole collection on Style.com. We will certainly miss him and wish him a very happy life.

Valentino fashion show at Rodin Museum

For anyone like me who follows fashion, Valentino is the master. He has been around for so long and it is amazing that as times have changed, his fashion has evolved to keep some things unchanged while changing the others. He is retiring now and put on a spectacular show at the Rodin Museum in Paris. Of course in this video you will see many of his elegant dresses but also towards the end take a look at his lipstick red dresses, that clearly has his signature.
