When I received my invitation from ZEE magazine for the VALENTINO movie, I literally shook with delight! I mean, VALENTINO is a fashion god! I LOVE VALENTINO! I have all his books. I even have a very special limited edition book that he signed!
- Valentino is a legend!
I heard about this movie several months ago and I even saw a preview of it on the Internet. I even ordered the movie from Amazon, but it will be arriving in late September. So you can imagine my happiness when I got the invite! I arrived at around 6:30 pm and the energy of the crowd was so strong! The crowd was really a power house of the Philippine fashion landscape. We were all there!
- The crowd was a power cast of the fashion elite of the country like National Artist for Fashion Pitoy Moreno (I love the fact that Tito Pitoy is everywhere from the Lady Gaga concert to the Valentino premiere! I would not be surprised if I end up seeing him at Establishment with a cocktail in hand! LOL!) and the President GMA’s fave fashion designer, Ito Curata.
- Glam squad. Mrs. Vasquez-Prada and son Andy with the Prince of Philippine fashion Inno Sotto!
- My darling friend, fresh from Paris Eduard Garcia strikes a pose for me!
- One of the most talented hair and makeup artists in the land, Mother Henri Calayag was very present!
- Bespectacled buddies. Robby Carmona and Rhett Eala.
- Sibling style! Love the Changs, they are so FASHION!
- Glamour goddess! Cheri was present too! She is incredible chic!
The Shangri-La hotel staff was busy giving out PINK champagne and at 7pm on the dot, the movie started. From start to finish, I was mesmerized! The movie really gave all of us an intimate perspective of the life of Valentino. The movie follows the life of Valentino for almost 2 years, leading up to his FABULOUS 45th anniversary party! Trust me when I say that there will never ever be a party like the Anniversary party of Valentino!
- I had to steal some shots from the movie! Sorry if this is illegal, but I just want to share! LOL!
- One of the iconic Valentino red gowns,…this is one of my faves. Worn by the sensational Verushka!
- Valentino is so precise. He is also very funny. The relationship he has with his partner is also so cute!
- My favorite shot of the movie! I adore his pugs!
- The finale show!
For me, it was also a story about love! The complex relationship Valentino and his partner Giometti. Even if I felt like going to the bathroom to pee, I held it! LOL! As I really did not want to miss a thing! I did not want the movie to end! I left the movie so inspired with a high! This is the reason why I love fashion. I do hope that all of you fashion lovers get to see it because there will never be a fashion movie quite like Valentino …The Last Emperor.
HUGS!
RAJO!
