Valentino is one of Europe’s most recognizable fashion brands. The brand is among the last great fashion houses created in Hollywood’s golden era. Valentino would come to unite Hollywood stars, political icons, and European royalty under one label.

Valentino S.p.A. is an Italian luxury fashion house founded in 1960 by Valentino Garavani

Valentino defines the idea of ‘jet-set chic.’ The Italian fashion house used to have a diffusion line called R.E.D. Valentino, but it has been discontinued. Valentino Garavani, however, is not a diffusion line—it is the accessories division of Valentino, encompassing luxury shoes, handbags, and other accessories. It remains an active and integral part of the brand.

French actor best known for mainstream films who earned her place in the New Wave pantheon with her performance in Jean-Luc Godard’s Weekend

Mireille Darc, who has died aged 79, was a French film star known for her zestful appearances in a string of popular sex comedies and cops and robbers movies. Mainly in the 1960s, she played a variety of good-natured call girls and gangsters’ molls, while not being averse to disrobing when the plot required it, and sometimes when it did not.

One of her most famous roles was in The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe (Le Grand Blond Avec Une Chaussure Noire, 1972), an espionage farce in which she displayed a black backless dress to the astonishment of unwilling spy Pierre Richard. The dress, designed by Guy Laroche, is now in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
