Valentino: 50 years of couture

Valentino has dominated haute couture, the Italian style, for five decades. And, London honours him with a retrospective of his dresses, coveted by princesses, actresses and socialites.

Some 137 dresses, worn by the most glamorous women in the world — like Audrey Hepburn, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Grace Kelly, Sophia Loren, Carla Bruni and Farah Diba, are the highlight of ‘Valentino: Master of Couture’, being hosted by Somerset House in London till March next year.

Innovatively designed, the dresses are arranged on two sides of a 60-metre catwalk, with mannequins sitting or standing like the audience at a fashion show and visitors walking the runway like models. The feel is heightened by placement of hand-written placards showing names of the front row guests on the chairs.

The catwalk is intimidating, but the haute couture dresses make the role reversal enjoyable.

“This is not an anniversary celebration although it is the 50th anniversary of Valentino’s designs. It is actually a celebration of haute couture and the way it is made,” says Shonagh Marshall, an assistant curator at Somerset House. The exhibition has been curated by Alistair O’Neill for Somerset House with Patrick Kinmonth and Antonio Monfreda, of the internationally renowned design team Kinmonth Monfreda, in collaboration with Valentino and his partner Giancarlo Giammetti.
