VALENTINO launched his new high tech 45-year archive at his Chateau de Wideville in France last night. Giancarlo Giammetti, Valentino’s business partner, has been compiling the collection since Valentino retired in 2008 with the aim of making it more than “a wax museum.”
”For me, his legacy has to be informative – not a wax museum – but something alive,” said Giammetti to the International Herald Tribune.
The archive includes more than 200 sketches, from 1959 when Valentino first opened his atelier in Rome, to 2008, when he showed his final couture collection. iPads show the designer sketching his creations and a 40 meter gallery displays original sketches laid out on notepads and scraps of beside paper. The archive will also show photographs of some the world’s most famous women wearing Valentino designs, including Elizabeth Taylor and Jacqui Kennedy.
The collection will be open from September by appointment only and available to students from next year.

It is a touch of surprising to see such kind of bag from Valentino. Giving up annoying rosette and bow designs, it picked adorable pleats to keep on its feminine tone. I have to say, this test is successful. Subtle touching and fascinating gloss quietly express its immense luxury, while vivid ruching offers aristocratic temperament to top off Valentino’s honor.
This Valentino Rouches Hobo doesn’t have the usual bow or even flower embellishments on it, and its body is not even studded or embellished with something. Instead, this hobo has its design on the perimeter, showing ruffles frill. The body of the bag is just plain in supple leather with subtly gleaming finish, which indeed makes this simple yet very chic. This then makes this hobo totally different as with his other creations that tend to look gaudy.
With measurements of 14 x 9 x 3 inches, this Valentino Rouches Hobo can surely accompany you throughout the day while carrying your essentials. This then has a single handle with 8-inch drop, which is as well designed with ruffles. The zip along the top would then lead to the interior with zip, wall and cell phone pockets for storage.
