Valentino

1959
Rome, Italy
Valentino (founder), Giancarlo Giammetti (Business Partner), Maria Grazia Chiuri (Creative Director), Pier Paolo Piccioli (Creative Designer), Alessandra Facchinetti (Creative Designer)
The Valentino Fashion Group S.p.A was founded by the italian designer Valentino Garavani when he opened a sumptuous fashion house on Via Condotti in Rome with his father by his side. It was when the entrepreneurial skill of long-time boyfriend Giancarlo Giammetti came to Valentino's rescue that the company started to blossom after being in a financial crisis. The international debut and breakthrough took place in 1962 in Florence where their first show at the Pitti Palace was considered as a true revelation as the young couturier Valentino was submerged by foreign jet set customers. The company has rosen successfully ever since.

Wednesday 2:48 PM, 28/04/2010
Diane Kruger wears metallic meets nude. This Chanel dress is absolutely gorgeous! Fair Kiera! Ms Knightley looks like an angel in this one shouldered dress. Caroline Sieber in Valentino. Simple and stunning! Michelle Keegan makes a cute dress seem more hardcore with this black jacket and accesories. Lanvin runway! She looks like a godess. A nude dress terrifically combined with a pair of Chanel shoes. This one shouldered Bottega Veneta dress makes Shu Qi look like a dream. I love the simplicity. Christy Turlington, stunning in Bottega Veneta. Also she in red lips. Carla Gugino in Dolce and Gabbana. What a beauty! What a perfect match thay make! Nadja Auermann in Lanvin and Eva Herzigova in Dolce & Gabbana - wow!
This has been said before but it must be said again! Nude is definately the color of the season. It feels more than right to fill your closet with skin toned fabrics after this never ending cold winter. Nude dresses combined with big dazzling jewellery and red lips is a sure thing! Its something we´ve seen countless time on the red carpet and it never gets tired. The colour goes perfectly with every skin tone. So being pale is not an excuse not to wear nude! Here is some star nude style inspiration!
