Valentino Garavani
Valentino was happy to sign copies of his new tome, which features a handful of delectable recipes alongside numerous close-up photos of his home and garden. Recipes include the Potato and Turbot Timbale and the Frozen Chestnut Souffle, with quotes from Valentino peppered in, such as: "Elegance is the balance between proportion, emotion, and surprise." All of this makes for a unique understanding of the legend himself, and an opportunity to get a rare look into his personal life.
