Valentina was the twentieth centurys first American fashion designer celebrity, working and living on equal social footing with the clientele she dressed, among them Greta Garbo, Gloria Swanson, Katharine Hepburn, Millicent Rogers, and Audrey Hepburn. One of the few designers who proved that America could live without the Parisian haute couture, her career is a much needed missing link in the history of American fashion. Published in association with the Museum of the City of New Yorks exhibition, this book includes photographs, never-before-seen personal ephemera, sketches, and original platinum prints from master photographers such as Cecil Beaton, Horst P. Horst, and George Hoyningen-Huene.
