Valentino: The Last Emperor

Matt Tyrnauer's documentary traces the two years leading up to fashion legend Valentino's 45th anniversary in 2007. Beyond pugs and arguably the greatest love story of all time, you get an amazing look into the process of couture creation - from a sketch by the designer through to its translation into 3D form by an army of sassy seamstresses (complete scene stealers). Valentino's absolute dedication to the art of fashion underscores the bittersweetness of the couturier's decision to retire after the company's sale to private equity firm Permira. Truly an end of an era.
