Highly rated and ranked among top fashion photography and history books, it serves as both an inspiring gift and a collector’s item for professionals passionate about fashion design. ## Description 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. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #132,369 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #73 in Fashion Photography (Books) #138 in Fashion History #284 in Fashion Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 710 Reviews | ## Images ![Valentino: Themes and Variations - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91cn1C7zIFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***. on June 15, 2021* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***M on June 22, 2010* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***E on January 20, 2026* ## Frequently Bought Together - Valentino: Themes and Variations - Chanel: Collections and Creations - Yves Saint Laurent: Icons of Fashion Design & Photography --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/2126827-valentino-themes-and-variations](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/2126827-valentino-themes-and-variations) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
