Valentinos Homes Around the World

Valentino not only a man born with the eye for sartorialism but also an eye for creating a beautiful interior too. This video shows three of Valentino Garavani s many homes in Paris (Chateau de Wideville), Gstaad (Chalet Gifferhorn) and his Yacht Blue One) moored in Venice. Each very different in style. Along with Valentino s genius for design, he also strikes me as a very human man filled with much Italian emotion and passion as well as, at times, a sardonic wit never a man to take himself or perhaps others too seriously. He and Giancarlo Giammetti, his lifelong partner a rare achievement today, particularly in business make an extremely stylish duo. The background music is by Les Hommes, the two tracks: Pousada Do Amor and Hommage. The video footage comes from Valentino: The Last Emperor (2008) a warm, amusing and sometimes farcical insight into the private lives of Valentino and his partner Giancarlo. You may also be interested
