Lastnight, during my nightly tv ritual, I happened to take advantage of our 1 month free HBO and came across Valentino-The Last Emperor...I fell in Love. Really, modern fashion has nothing on this Classic beauty and the epitome of class of a designer and the gorgeous evening gowns and dresses he designs. I love the simplicity of every detail, and how it all comes together to make this masterpiece. Every designer out there "thinks" their sh*t is the bomb...but that's the difference between Valentino and the others. It's a fact. Everyone KNOWS and appreciates the beauty of his work, and there's no argument. The fact that he's been with the same lover for 40+ years even proves his class, he hasn't switched out arm candy with every award acheived...and I'm sure he's had all the opportunity in the world to switch Giancarlo out, but he's true to himself, his friends and his fashion. It's more than the clothes, it's the legacy that he has built for himself and his brand. He deserves the respect, unlike other wanna be designers...err hmm, Lindsey Lohan.
I digress.
But then...I learned a little of Karl Lagerfeld while watching this documentary and doing some research online. However, I'm going to watch his movie before I express the same love for him as I did Valentino...could there be more than one Last Emperor?*GASP*
