Valentino – Chateau outside Paris

The crown jewel of Valentino’s residential repertoire is the Chateau de Wideville, a historic castle outside of Paris. Simplicity is not a concept that famed fashion designer Valentino Garavani is familiar with, which is what makes the images of the designer’s private spaces such a fantastic feast for the eyes. Crystal chandeliers, sumptuous tableware, opulent objets d’art, and plenty of china come together to create the most opulent of settings. The images are part of a book that came out a few years ago, At the Emperor’s Table, a stunning visual and written account of Valentino’s world and his playful style. Once again, the designer wows with his class and elegance.
