Valentino Garavani's former lover and business partner shares some of his favourite photos from his new book, Private: Giancarlo Giammetti
Published this month and available for pre-order at assouline.com, Private: Giancarlo Giammetti is a pictorial autobiography culled from almost 50,000 pictures taken by this compulsive photographer. They span Valentino's first encounter with Giammetti at a Rome café in 1960, and chart both men's personal and professional lives. Andy Warhol, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Onassis, Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow all feature.
This beautiful collector’s volume features in-depth interviews, collections from his journals, and a curated selection of exclusive personal pictures. “Not many people know that I have been taking pictures almost all my life,” says Giammetti. “I had amassed more than 50,000 images. Reviewing them all [for this book] reminded me that Valentino and I have lived through an amazing series of events and fashion moments, and that we have met thousands of interesting people.”
Divided into four sections, this story begins in the “Early Days” where Giammetti recounts his birth in Rome during World War II. It continues through a chance meeting with the young Valentino in 1960 at Café de Paris in Rome, during the height of “La Dolce Vita.” Once introduced the two quickly establish a lasting bond and have lived their lives by each other’s side.
Their relationship created the foundation for “The Tribe,” the title of the book’s second section and what Giammetti calls the eclectic cast of characters and lifelong friends that he describes as “the extended family that we voluntarily create over time,” and at other times, a “traveling circus.”
“Work,” the book’s third section, outlines Giammetti’s professional achievements building the Valentino brand. “In a nutshell, my life’s work has been allowing Valentino the freedom to be Valentino,” he says. Though in reality, Giammetti allowed the “maestro” to create, while he successfully managed all other aspects of the business. As this section outlines, he was a pioneer of practices in advertising, licensing and ready-to-wear collections that are now standard in today’s fashion industry. The text also touches upon Giammetti’s most recent creation, the Valentino Garavani Virtual Museum.
The closing section “Society,” chronicles the Valentino/Giammetti lifestyle including everything from walking barefoot with Jackie O in Capri, dinners with Andy Warhol in New York, and teaching Madonna how to ski in Gstaad. “We spent lots of time with our clients, and they became our friends,” Giammetti says of the jet-set Valentino clientele that more often than not included royals, movie stars and society elite.

yes i know, but considering his profession, i thought he would be talking about the technical abilities of the two's dancing skills...
Laurieann Gibson already destroyed her last week in regards to her dancing 'skills'

Flop comment from a flop thread
You should know
-
well..actually i'm disappointed...when i started the thread i read he is a choreographer, so i thought he would have trashed that moving dummy..and in the end he only said that thing...
He's saying that Gaga caters to the public while Madonna holds on to her artistic integrity, this is a huge compliment to M and huge shade to Gaga, + calling her a commodity
-
is what I think he meant to say?
A commodity, something basic like eggs and milk
-
Yes, because I stan for her discipline, boldness and courage
-
realitybabe, it's your fault if you post here something that belongs to the Gaga thread...
He's talking about Madonna too and this is the Madonna area, now go and stream flopplause so that your psychotic idol doesn't slash her wrists
-
Wow so many little flopsters on madonnanation these days
-
I'm not a newbie but I've always had a bad impression of M fans that think COADF is her best album
For some reason I have this impression that only extremely flamboyant people would prefer COADF over other M record -
Lady Gaga is a commodity. When you relate to her old video ... is clear: she is incredibly talented and is absolutely a marketing and entertainment genius ... but, when you relate to her old video, we see a completely different person. She built this image for us, and she used what we want to hear. It's not like Madonna . Madonna is herself, while Lady Gaga is what she thinks we want "- Yanis Marshall .
Thanks let me update the OP
-
To add to #4, me being a Hard Candy booty popper, her deeper albums ROL and AL are in my most favorite albums of all time.

This is Yanis Marshall

Here's what famous French choreographer Yanis Marshall thinks of Lady Gaga and Madonna .

as someone pointed out Yuri copies Madonna cause she is a bigger loon than many people here...I mean, seriously, who samples Rescue Me? she obvioysly ripped off Frozen from DWT, no doubt about it. the whole vogue homage was very sad though!
Marta Sanchez another big voice diva with no creativity.....she denied even liking madonna but she is a definitely a loon
Marta meet Madonna in a party in Spain after her taping of 'Septimo de Caballeria' with Miguel Bose and Madonna was condescending and didn't take her eyes off Marta's Torero boyfriend
@ 7:18 she talks about it
-
I'm a bit sad by this. If fans who wonder why some fans have a problem with hearing criticism about Madonna from other fans you can blame writers like Roger Friedman. He hasn't been the only one these past 30 years. You know he's not letting all comments through? I know for a fact that they are very respectful and articulate too.
I dont understand your post
-
Let's put it this way, Yuri is the Mexican cheap Lady Xerox, she copies Madonna big time, and does it very vey bad. The re-invented version of her classic are not even good to watch or listen, she tries to hard and fail.
And NO, I don't hate Yuri, I love some of her classic 80´s, 90´s ballads, they are big classics to sing in gay cantinas and also she might be one of the most interpreted performers by transvestites in Mexico.
You forgot to say that Yuri has an amazing powerful voice (bigger than M, Gaga or really anyone else) and that til this day fills up 8 auditorio nacionales in a year, so please dont compare her to Lady Xerox, thanks
-
Lucero have her own Ray Of Light... look at 2:22
Lol that's sad, and the music does sound like rol
-
Says who? It is telling of the fact that YOU prefer Confessions and only that.
OMG Mangapop finally met his match
Pls GU destroy ha!
He thinks his opinions are facts

May 1991, Cannes during Truth Or Dare/In Bed With Madonna promotion.
Day and time?

I know Madonna did the photosessions on purpose.
It is just annoying when someone else for example does a video or performance in Cowboy style and then Madonna fans say it is a Don't Tell Me ripp off.
Some people are gonna copy Madonna because they like her. They are going to re-create her poses or themes a nd their work will be described as ripp-off.
I am talking about that.
No one mentioned cowboy hats (yet) and yes Yuri likes her, what's your point? I mean the sampling, the blatant copying, is still copying
-
Yuri taking notes on the MDNA Tour
-
Well I don't see it. Like I said Yuri has been inspired by Japanese culture.
If she did then what about Kylie and her Greco/Roman costumes on Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour
and Madonna's SB performace?
Anyway, let's not forget that Madonna also copied Marylin Monroe. I am talking about photoshoots.
I'm the biggest Yuri fan ever, she was inspired by the DWT, and I stopped posting because I'm tired now but I could keep on posting Yuri's Madonna inspirations for days
The costumes + backdrop video is practically the same
Yuri hasn't even been to Japan
-
Yuri is the biggest fan but at least she recognizes it publically (Marta and Thalia deny it)
Yuri even likes to pretend she is performing in the Girlie Show from time to time (even if she can't speak english)
Madonna's Harper's Bazaar 2013. STUNNING!!!
