VALENTINO: THE LAST EMPEROR

Valentino: The Last Emperor is an intimate, engaging, and humorous exploration of one of Italy’s most extravagant icons. At the heart of the film is the unique relationship between Valentino and his business partner and companion of 50 years, Giancarlo Giammetti. Valentino is the last of the great couturiers. He is a design genius, an Italian legend, and the man who lives in a lost world of luxury and extravagance unparalleled in Europe.The film provides an insider’s view of his creative brilliance, as well as his opulent lifestyle, as he rubs shoulders with the Hollywood and political elite, and the European royal families – a true maestro of la dolce vita. He dressed the likes of Jackie Kennedy and Princess Diana and now, finally, on the heels of his retirement from the fashion world, the film provides a very human portrayal of the man at the center of a brilliant, colorful chapter in the history of Rome and Europe, and the end of an era in global fashion.
