Fun fact: Did you know that the real Valentino had a cameo role in The Devil Wears Prada? Cool, right? For most of us who have seen the film when we were in our early teens, we probably didn’t catch that. The movie after all was released in 2006—which was whopping 12 years ago! Wow, did we just remind you of how time went by so fast? For us viewers, it probably wasn’t a big deal. But for the crew, Valentino Garavani‘s presence (at the Valentino-inspired fashion show seated beside Miranda Priestly, if you couldn’t remember) gave the movie authenticity, enabling it to make a lasting impact. (Aside of course from Meryl Streep‘s critically acclaimed performance and the issue about her character being modeled after Anna Wintour).
That’s what Valentino is all about—authenticity. Especially known for his elegant, timeless gowns, his innovativeness and creativity (which feed authenticity) allowed him to shine amongst the stiff competition of the fashion industry, and probably why over the years, “Valentino” has been the answer of too many celebrities when asked, “Who are you wearing?”
Beyond all the glitz and glamour that fashion offers, it is in its most basic a form of art and more importantly a means for people to express themselves. Wearing Valentino clothes and accessories will not only help you rule your own red carpet with authenticity but will also make you feel the most confident about yourself—ensuring you’re always ready for your paparazzi shot (well, maybe just OOTD shots, but you get the point). Why not replenish your beloved Valentino pieces or get your first one with a footwear that can easily elevate any of your looks? Here’s a jam-packed list of 36 gorgeous Valentino pairs you can choose from.
