And now, something that has nothing to do with Fashion Week:
Some lucky people may have gotten to go to advance screenings of the Valentino documentary, Valentino: The Last Emperor, but we have some good news for everybody else, too.
The film finally has a regular release date – March 18th. It’ll play at NYC’s Film Forum for two weeks, and then it’ll launch in Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles and San Francisco on March 27th.
We suggest using Fandango.
But back to Fall 09 – Next up: BCBG, Costello Tagliapietra, Abaete, Lorick, and more pictures from Red Heart, Charlotte Ronson and more…
