Eyeballing Valentino
If you’re a vintage clothes fan or fashionista-on-a-budget, pop down to Resorts World Sentosa from 15 December and oogle at 100 Valentino haute couture pieces. They have been brought in for the curated exhibition, ‘Valentino, Retrospective: Past/Present/Future’ developed by Les Arts Décoratifs. Eyeball looks from founder Valentino Garavani’s early designs to current Creative Directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli.
Ms Pamela Golbin, curator-in-chief for the Fashion and Textiles collection of Les Arts Décoratifs, said: “The exhibition showcases Valentino’s signature styles – volumes, lines and textures, prints and graphic forms. It also displays the richness of colours going from monochromes to very impressive associations displayed by abstract and figurative motifs.”
You’ll also get to see gowns that were once worn by celebrities such as Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor and others.
Les Arts Décoratifs is a private not-for-profit institution in Paris consisting of museums and a school of design and interior architecture.
