Beginning his career in fashion as a lead designer for Nina Ricci and Christian Dior, Valvo ultimately launched his line of sportswear in 1989. His big break came when he started designing eveningwear and cocktail attire for the Hollywood elite. Valvo has proven to be a dedicated scholar of his craft, carefully honing his skills to master the fine art of cutting and draping fabric to enhance the female physique so that every customer feels like a star on the red carpet when they walk into a room wearing one of his creations. Valvo's designs are regularly stocked at Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman, and other specialty stores nationally and internationally. This book provides advice to women of all ages on how to dress for their own red carpet moment. Also included will be Valvo's beautiful fashion illustrations, fabulous full-colour photography of glamorous gowns, an inside look at Valvo's creative process in the studio while designing the perfect dress, inspiration and colour boards that map out a new collection, a solid look back at Valvo's designs over 30 years including a compilation of classic looks that never go out of style.
