Valentino Garavani left the world of fashion in 2008

It’s not just the American actress who are in town for Cannes, our favourite Asian stars are too.

Fan Bingbing is one star you can always rely on to bring elegance to the red carpet.

She’s at the festival to promote “Chongqing Blues” with her co-stars Yi Zi, Li Feier, Xiaoshuai Wang, and Hao Qin.

She looks so beautiful wearing a Valentino Fall 2010 dress.

The pink is perfect for her milky complexion.

I love those delicate ruffles which cascade down her skirt.

Those of you who like details will be happy that she kept the butterfly brooch on her dress.

When you say the name of Valentino, our imagination draws a beautiful woman, which proudly goes on the catwalk in the purple dress, which became the hallmark of the house “Valentino”. Every show of the great Couturier was ended with bright red dress.

Great women have inspired the creation of Valentino. Almost half a century his clothes were: Grace Kelly, Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn, Brooke Shields, Jessica Lange and Courtney Love. Valentino created white lace dress for a wedding Jacqueline Kennedy, who married Aristotle Onassis. It had conquered the whole world for its simplicity and at the same time refined. Nancy Reagan all the years of her husband in public appeared only in the clothes from Valentino. Only Garavani could advise the Elizabeth II: “Your majesty, wear black. He sets off your skin.”

Valentino Garavani left the world of fashion in 2008, Anne Hathaway became the last inspiration of the great maestro.

The last Valentino muse was a young hollywood actress, Ann Hathaway which invariably accompanied by Garavani at all fashion-events. Ann and Valentino have got acquainted on shootings of film “The Devil wears Prada”, in which Hathaway played a major role. Valentino was the only couturier, who agreed to take part, not fearing the wrath of the most influential women of the world of fashion – Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of American Vogue, which was the prototype of the “devil” in the film. The movie star and the great couturier quickly became friends .Ann is still the best friend of Valentino Garavani.
