Why Buy A Valentino by Matt Tyrnauer?
The glamorous life and work of Valentino Garavani. Unlimited popular edition.

Think Valentino: think luxury. Think elegance. Think red carpet. Fashion s most beloved upholder of refined decadence and the most exciting couturier in business is known around the globe simply by his first name. Only a few years after opening his fashion house in Rome in 1959, Valentino was already at the height of success, counting Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy, and Audrey Hepburn among his devotees. Over forty years later, not much has changed he s still dressing the top celebrities, from Gwyneth Paltrow to J.Lo, though now his business is a major economic force in Italy and his fashion house is among the most famous in the world. Valentino has always designed clothes for glamorous and sophisticated women, never wavering from his signature style even when grunge, deconstruction, and other passing fads were all the rage. Though his couture division almost never makes a profit (his ready-to-wear lines are what fuel the business), his heart is most solidly devoted to the magnificent haute couture gowns that earned him his reputation as fashion s most talented dressmaker.

This publication renders homage to Valentino s illustrious career via a copious selection of images from his archives, including drawings, magazine shoots, advertisements, portraits of Valentino, and documentary photographs; presented chronologically, the visual material is accompanied by a vast array of newspaper and magazine articles about Valentino throughout the years. Text also includes Vanity Fair writer Matt Tyrnauer s interviews with twenty of Valentino s closest collaborators and friends as well as an appreciation of Valentino by International Herald Tribune s fashion writer Suzy Menkes. All of these elements add up to an in-depth look at the man, his lifestyle, and his genius a book more comprehensive and stunning than one could hardly dare to dream of.

This unlimited popular edition is for readers on a budget or who were unable to get their hands on the original limited Collectors and Art Edition.

Great Book!
I really enjoyed reading this book. It is a beautiful book with amazing graphics, which makes for a great coffee table book. The book is divided by decades throughout Valentino’s career; it gives a great insight to each one. There are pictures of his ads, celebrities wearing his clothes, and of Valentino. I highly recommend this book for any fashionista or fan of Valentino!

This stunning Mafia thriller bears many of the hallmarks of Toschess celebrated nonfiction: an uncanny familiarity with the darkest chambers of the human heart and a wildly elastic prose style. As Cut Numbers unravels a diabolically elaborate scheme to fix New York States lottery, it reveals the Mafia that only insiders knownot the powerful, well-oiled crime machine of myth, but the messy day-to-day business of violent crime, pornography, gambling, and extortion.

Dark story, beautifully written
Gangsters and hoodlums, gambling, sex and drugs. It’s dark, dirty, and not a very compelling story. But it is written so insightfully I find myself re-reading paragraphs just to savor the genuine humanity that has been captured.

“Nowhere”
“Well?”
“The old man’s chin jutted out. He looked straight ahead and raised his palms, as if, having concluded an irrefutable argument of great eloquence, he awaited the roaring approval of the Roman Senate.
Each looked away from the other, and they let the tide of silence rise awhile, until it was almost as if what had been said had not been said.”

damn good. tight. complelling. damn hot
I loved this book. I learned about Tosches through a Vanity Fair article and began reading some of his stuff – ‘The Devil and Sonny Liston’, ‘Country’, ‘The Last Opium Den’. I found and read this novel after those and loved it. I’ve since given it to several friends and they loved it, or so I think. I don’t think I care, but I would say they loved it based on their reactions and that I never got the books back. If you are afraid of dirty words or dirty deeds don’t read this (the last reviewer would have benefited from this advice). Its real (I’ve live in NJ Hudson Ctny and NYC most of my life) and honest. Its also a tightly written story, which is lost on some b/c of the language and subject matter. F*** them – read it and see for yourself.

Celebutantes by Ruthanna Khalighi Hopper – Save 25% Today!

Why Buy A Celebutantes by Ruthanna Khalighi Hopper?

Prepare to enter a world of what fashion designer Michael Kors has called “stylish intrigue, glamorous machinations, and such juicy fun.”  Take a wild ride with Amanda Goldberg and Ruthanna Hopper, who have culled their insider’s purview to peel back Oscar’s legendary curtain and reveal what really goes on under the sheets of Young Hollywood. Do Happy Hollywood Endings really exist, or does everyone end up on the cutting room floor sooner or later?  It’s a shocking, entertaining race to the end of the red carpet…

Twenty-six-year-old Lola Santisi, daughter of an Academy Award-winning mega-director and a former cover model, is Hollywood Royalty without a kingdom—or even a condo—to call her own.  This “Actorholic,” who also suffers from “Career Deficit Disorder,” is looking for more from life than what her famous last name has offered, namely her mother’s last-season Chanel hand-me-downs and the lurking shadow of her father’s fame. In her latest gig as a Hollywood ambassador, Lola’s stepping out of her Louboutins and into fashion’s ultimate combat boots to engage in LAs cruelest blood sport: convincing celebrities to wear an unknown designers gowns to the Oscars.

Providing advice, emotional support, and even a new mantra or two are her BFF (Best Friend Forever) Kate Woods, an obsessively ambitious talent agent desperate to go from unter to über, and her BAF (Best Actress Forever) Cricket Curtis, a struggling up-and-comer trying to surpass her role as a coma victim on Grey’s Anatomy and overcome one rejection after another to become the next Cameron Diaz or Nicole Kidman, or the next anybody.  Together, they dodge fashion roadkill while navigating General Motors’ Annual Fashion Show, the Gagosian dinner at Mr. Chow, and more.  Ultimately, the week culminates at the über-exclusive Vanity Fair Oscar party, where the allotted time slot on your invitation marks how far in or out you really are.  But who will be left standing with job, heart, and stilettos still intact at the after-after-Oscar party?
