Assouline | Valentino: At the Emperor's Table

Through Oberti Gili’s panoply of photographs, discover the Italian haute couture maestro’s behind-the-scenes life, from dining rooms overflowing with blue and white china to a spaghetti and tomato sauce recipe. It turns out Mr. Garavani is as skilled at creating “the ta-da”, as he calls it, out of serveware and table linens as he is at creating jaw-dropping dresses. Who wouldn’t be curious to discover his many homes, some of them palaces and others decorated with original Basquiat and Picasso paintings?
