They want to be beautiful!" This is the motto that Valentino has based his life on. This weekend I went to see the movie Valentino: The Last Emperor for the second time. It has finally arrived in Vancouver. The first time I saw it I drove to Seattle because it wasn't out here yet. It is one of the few movies I have been to in my lifetime that everyone in the theatre clapped at the end. I was moved to tears as the great maestro Valentino took a bolt of his signature red fabric and started draping it over a live model, creating and sculpting the design for a new dress. He truly was the Master of Couture, a dying breed in the times we are living in. Valentino: The last Emperor is a documentary that was filmed over a two year period chronicling Valentino's life work. It is a must see, not only for the view into the life of a great Master of Couture but also for the great love story it is. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZEEfYkmvUdLPIQRNC7VP8-ATg7x7btFgvhu3s1W8aPZGE3Q-w4JOyHIu3Eiv60Wywzs15NOULrGzYbLe-9ZOXUN9guy8UsOhC3RFf9MSwd70mxczA2pQ5tpwlaxXyYL_o03GzrJptwier/s1600-h/image6%5B1%5D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCyFHhOKmqFb2v3zYT3LAsdG3YfGYz2lLgWIcJ1XXluw7sRdcdk-CZHPnJFxzbf2ZGMO-xPWX3QLGIe9yi5lxV0aqtEeBg0PWH-Rp6RhxZxuiEPm-OlEwOUVHhY5dc9ylZnQVXbtEvPN0e/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" width="500" /></a> Valentino: The Last Emperor Valentino's 5 Pugs who go everywhere with him.
