(IMO) Valentino...again!

NY cannot get enough of Valentino. We did not want to see him go when he retired from his namesake fashion house, and now we refuse to let him to leave the silver screen!

Matt Tyrnauer's sensational film, Valentino: the last Emperor, is held over...again...in a record-setting engagement at Film Forum in NYC. New Yorkers can now also catch the movie at Lincoln Plaza Cinemas and CC Cinemas 123. I will absolutely be going again, and if you have not seen it yet, you now have no reason not to.

Shown in film festivals around the world to wide acclaim, Valentino: the last emperor has captivated both the hearts and minds of audiences everywhere. It is an intelligent film that pulls at the heart strings of anyone who has worked in fashion or dedicated themselves to their own business. The film takes the viewer inside the singular world of the legendary designer Valentino, the maestro of high fashion. We follow the Italian master through the final two years of his celebrated career, capturing the end of an era in global fashion. At the heart of the film we are treated to one of life's great love stories: the unique relationship between Valentino and his business partner of 50 years, Giancarlo Giammetti.

If you do not yet have enough reasons to go here are four more:

Q&A w/ Vogue editor-at-large André Leon Talley 4/13 @8:10pm
Q&A w/ Vanity Fair's Bob Colacello 4/14 @8:10pm
Q&A w/ Very Special Guest (TBD) 4/15 @8:10pm
Q&A w/ Fashion Designer Ralph Rucci 4/16 @8:10pm

Rarely do you get the opportunity to see these legendary fashion figures speak, and now you have the chance to see them discuss one of fashion's greatest documentaries at Film Forum's intimate theater setting. If you have any sense at all you will get a ticket immediately because they will not last.

A HUGE thank you to Lauren K. for sending this information through!
