His clothes may look great but Valentino is just another self satisfied spoiled rich man who overestimates his contributions to the world. The only people who benefit from his career are the super rich and famous, the average person could never afford his clothes. The parade of douche bags in this film was impressive.
shareFashion is a misunderstood industry. I could go on and on about how fashion is a form of art on the same level as a beautiful painting or an Oscar-worthy film, but that would hardly matter to you, I am sure. Instead, I will take the most practical approach. Certainly, Valentino's career has had little effect on you or me, but what about the thousands of middle class workers employed under his company as we speak? Factory workers? Seamstresses? Office workers? Store clerks? Would you say that these people do not benefit from his career? In the toughest economy of our time, these people are gainfully employed and not lined up in the already extensive unemployment line alongside millions of others. Sure, his creativity contributes only to the beautifying of society and "the super rich and famous," but the business sprung from this creativity is of vast importance to a great many people who are neither rich nor famous.

I agree . His clothes are so beautiful . The rest is enough to make me vomit . The " parade of douchebags " comment made me laugh !
shareThe parade of douchebags comment was hilarious, but I can't hate on the man. The gowns that we can afford are often influenced by his designs.
But watching his help brush one of his pugs' teeth was obnoxious.
I threw that sh-- before I walked into the room!
I think we can all benefit from fashion.
We may not be able to wear it, but we get to see it and become inspired by it.
Personally, I AM sad that I would never get to wear one of his beautiful gowns, but I love to look at them. And looking is free. =)
