Valentino at Les Arts Decoratifs

The Valentino exhibition at Les Arts Decoratifs -Paris- was amazing. I don't think I need to say anything about him, we all now his work. The thing about Couture I guess is that a dress he designed in 1968 is still elegant today. In fact, I think that is the magic of fashion.
The exhibition was amazing because of the dresses; and not because of the organization. Light was so poor you could barely see the dresses, and the worst was the sand on the floor, I guess thanks to it dresses will be ruined, and it's so sad.
La exposicion de Valentino en Les Arts Decoratifs -Paris- es recomendable para todo aquel que este interesado en moda, aunque solo sea un poquito. No necesito decir nada de Valentino porque todos lo conocemos de sobra. Supongo que el encanto de la Costura es que un vestido que Valentino diseno en 1968 es aun elegante hoy. Y en realidad, creo que esa es la magia de la moda. Debo decir que la exposicion estuvo bien porque los vestidos eran maravillosos y con eso bastaba. Sin embargo, el diseno de la exposicion daba pena, la luz era escasa y algunos vestidos apenas los podias ver, y ademas, en el suelo habia arena, que seguramente estropeara muchos de los vestidos largos, lo que me rompio el corazon ya que no se puede hacer nada.

Nos tienes a todas enganchadas a tu aventura por París, ¿pero como se les ocurre poner arena con vestidos largos? Tienes razón algunos se pueden estropear

A mí me ha dado la impresión de que la escenografía ayuda poco al lucimiento de los trajes. Un saludo.

Beautiful and interesting pictures!
Valentino is maybe the most famous italian couturier, before leaving the management of his atelier, he gave a beautiful exposition at Ara Pacis in Rome.
The immortal beauty of roman art and Valentino beautiful dresses for a great emotion!
