A PALMER hit list of what’s new, now, and next from around the globe—from our obsessive-at-large, Wynn Burson Cateron.
Published to translate the largest-ever Valentino exhibition into book form, Forever Valentino illustrates, via visual stream of consciousness, the relentless creativity and craftsmanship of the Italian couture house Valentino. The book documents over 200 haute couture and ready-to-wear creations from 1959 to 2022 by the brand’s founder, Valentino Garavani, as well as its current creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli, in rich images—dominated by Valentino’s signature shade of red—that are annotated with memories from the house’s six decades-long history and profound connection to its birthplace, Rome…out November 7th from Silvana Editoriale/Qatar Museums, $85.
