Valentino: the Last Emperor premiered today to a full house at the beautiful Winter Garden Theatre. The crowd was treated to a short Q&A with the stars of the documentary, Valentino and his partner
Giancarlo Giammetti alongside director Matt Tyrnauer.
"I love this film more now that we've seen it with this crowd... Matt did the most beautiful job" Valentino said. Tyrnauer mentioned that the "sets were not the point of the story... the point of the film was the realtionship [between Valentino an Giammetti]."
When asked about current designers, Valentino's response was "the new people want to be famous immediately... you have to serve all the women around the world. They have to understand this is a very difficult job to do." His advice to up-and-coming designers is: "Try to understand what women want... to watch what's on the street, the fashion of today." The words of a man who personifies glamour and hard work.
