Somewhere between the old guard's "Real Fashion is Couture and only for ladies who lunch" and the reality TV era of "EVERYONE can be a designer"...lies the middle ground of very talented and well trained designers. Fashiona has always loved Valentino for his innovative designs alone but..she has a new found respect for him.

Look from Valentino's Ready to Wear Spring 2010 Line.
Since 1960, Valentino Garavani (known simply as Valentino) has been known for his luxurious gowns with sumptuous detailing. From then until now, A-listers, royalty and other lucky women who can afford his label, clamor to be seen in his line. Who could forget the vintage Valentino dress that Julia Roberts wore for her Oscar acceptance!

Since Valentino announced his retirement in 2007, he has mellowed a bit and weighed in on the state of fashion.
In last week's WWD article by Jacob Bernstein, Valentino was quoted as saying:
We are not only people having fun or partying, traveling in private jets and kissing celebrities. We are hard workers, responsible for thousands of people's jobs.
Well said sir...Fashion is a business like any other business....the players just dress better.
