4.0 out of 5 stars
Lousy text, fabulous photos., October 22, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Valentino's Magic (Hardcover)
Buy this book for the pictures. The text is awful--it is poorly translated from another language (Italian, I suppose), and it's badly laid out, with the text split by photos and running to the far edges of the pages.
However, the text really doesn't matter. The photos are wonderful and cover every decade of Valentino's glorious career. Bows, polka dots, flowers; Sharon Stone, Marisa Berenson, Brooke Shields; lace, satin, chiffon... This is a beautiful book.
