Valentino has had quite a busy year: celebrating 45 years in the fashion business, announcing his retirement, taking his final bow at the upcoming Paris Couture Fashion Week and now the fashion legend is being immortalized on the big screen.
Matt Tyrnauer, a special correspondent for Vanity Fair, has spent the past two years shooting more than 250 hours of footage of the designer and his entourage for Valentino: The Last Emperor. The film made its debut at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
According to IMDB, "the film is an intimate and engaging fly-on-the-wall exploration of the world of one of Italy's most famous men." The film documents Valentino's final days of his career and tells the story of his out of the ordinary lifestyle. The film also acknowledges larger themes affecting the fashion business today. At the heart of the film is the unique relationship between Valentino and his business partner and companion of 50 years, Giancarlo Giammetti.
This follows on the heels of the Karl Lagerfeld documentary, Lagerfeld Confidential as well as the Marc Jacobs film, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton.
