Ah la belle vidéo ! Tu fais très pro. Mais qu’est-ce que ça veut dire quand on est appelé à voir en preview une collection ? On est important ?

Très sympa pour une premier vernissage !
Merci Garance !

Je réalise aujourd’hui, que tu comble le vide laissé par la TV. Lors de ma formation de couturier dans les années 90 M6 avais ce programme génial Mode6, qui nous montrais les coulisses des défilés. Maintenant c’est toi qui nous y emmènent et j’aime!
I’m gonna say this…(my) best Paris show so far. They make me proud of being italian because (despite their terrible accent haha) they’ve been able to translate Valentino to the future…it’s all about shapes, details and great craftmanship, something very difficult to reach. Chapeau or, maybe better for them, bravi!
xx
Garance, I said it 1 thousand times: every year I enjoy having a look to all the collections, but I think Valentino is the best designer: so chic, so feminine, so elegant!
Lovely video with a lovely music!!!

Absolument divin ce vidéo. La combinaison parfaite d’une rencontre, Anna, et le privilège de voir le travail des petites mains, la passion des créateurs; de sentir la passion et le dévouement qui les animent! Je suis ravie!!!!! Et de là, le passage au défilé avec cette musique, et ce défilé au ralentie …. Je flotte de bonheur!!! Merci Garance et ton équipe!!! Et merci de nous regardez la caméra, comme si nous étions là…..
woooww amazing collection!!!

O wow…. I loved the video!! It’s amazing to see everyone at work, and to see all those delicate fabrics. If only I had the money…
Les défilés Valentino sont toujours des instants magiques, ces deux créateurs magnifient la Femme. J’adore, j’adoooooooooore !!!
Tres tres belle!
Great video! Like the look behind the scenes.

Whaou!!! Que du rêve ton blog, de plus en plus pro… merci, merci:-)
Une petite vignette de bonheur délicat.. :) quoi de mieux pour commencer une journée. Trop joli et magique comme vidéo. Elle imprègne tellement ce que Guillaume disait, sur les contes de fées et comment “fashion is a dream”. Tes vidéos nous font rêver, ça c’est certain :)
Bravo et merci Garance et ton équipe!
xx
It’s like getting a glimpse into the world of every girls dream. It’s quite surreal, and at the same time you feel like you’re there. Well.. I wish I was there.
Quel privilège de pouvoir entrer dans les ateliers ainsi, quelle chance. Merci de nous avoir fait partager ce moment unique! Et j’adore la transition des coulisses au podium! Superbe!

Thank you for this rare look behind the scenes of the amazing work of Maria Grazia, Pier Paolo and their team.

C’est si léger, envoûtant et féérique ! Merci à toute l’équipe.
So, so gorgeous. His skill for transcending the times with Valentino has made it a flawless transition. Even though every piece is so ‘light and fragile’ I want them all for my work, for parties, for dinners. Valentino for the modern woman, she who leaves at 8:30 and returns at 21:00!
Always a great show, with timeless elegance.
Great to see people who work behind the collection, really amazing people.
tout en délicatesse et subtilité
la vidéo est trop bien faite.
c’est apaissant
merçi garance et l’équipe
Je n”ai encore jamais laissé de commentaire mais cette vidéo est autant précieuse que la collection que tu découvre. Elle me rappelle “The day before” de Loïc Prigent. C’est toujours un grand plaisir de découvrir les p’tites mains qui manipule une étoffe, ajoute un bouton, termine une pince compliqué ou tout simplement contemple la magnifique pièce qu’elles auront contribué à rendre réalité. Grâce à toi Garance nous abordons la mode de manière tellement plus intéressante que toutes celles qui à travers leur blog ne nous montre que leur tenue (horriblement) coûteuse, les fêtes luxueuse et leur vie facile.
Encore merci pour t’être lancée dans la vidéo où ta joie et ta sincérité sont ta “production value”.

Wait what do they do with the edited pieces? Do they just go to the showroom or…do they give them away… ;)
This video was so well done; perhaps the best so far!!! And the craftsmanship (at Valentino) is exquisite; just so terribly divine. I hope you continue to post videos like this on a daily basis Garance; I can’t get enough!! I just can’t get enough..
C’est magique! On a envie d’y être et de toucher toutes ces belles matières!
That video is as if it all happened in a dream. I love how the cloths come alive when they are on the models. So beautiful.
C incroyable! T’as trop de chances! Love it!
http://lavieenliz.com
That’s what femininity is all about.
Fairytale! Love the music, what is it?
Well done! Lovely to see the petites mains.
one word: STUNNING.
The ambiance is fabulous!
Again one amazing and lovely video!

oh lala… tout simplement magique.
This is another world. Sublime!
encore une très belle vidéo !
c’est magnifique, toutes ces pièces d’une finesse et d’une beauté incroyable.. un vrai travail d’artistes !!
un grand bravo à toutes ces couturières, et à toutes ces personnes qui travaillent pour donner un tel résultat !
Chere Garance, c’est un rare privilege que celui d’entrer dans les ateliers Valentino en votre compagnie et celle d’Anna Dello Russo. Moi qui adore le “behind the scenes”, je suis gatee : les merveilleuses couturieres au travail dans des salons luxueux, la chance de pouvoir admirer l’execution des modeles puis de (presque) toucher ces dentelles et tissus precieux, tout cela dans un calme elegant sur une musique de conte de fee……Merci !
creative hive! I believe it was gorgeous and almost mysterious experience! Grazie! for being there with you :)
Valentino love! Such a great video. I love the preview and that everyone is working by hand. How chic.
xoxo

This video actually makes me what to cry… I think it’s because I have been thinking about all these amazing handcraft techniques around the world that are being lost so I really appreciate all this hard work and intricacy to make something beautiful. x
Oh Garance, how I envy you for being able to preview Valentino. The laser cut dress is beyond words! I can only dream that maybe one day I can preview the collection of Valentino, Alexander McQueen, Celine, Stella McCartney, Dior. By the way, is it just me or Pierpaolo looks like Renato Carosone?
http://www.chasingruins.com/
Encore un régal pour les yeux, travail magnifique et bravo à toutes ces petites mains qui font ces merveilles !
Lovely – and the perfect mix of music and image – such a treat to see the craft and skill behind the beautiful fashion. (It is a testament to your skill with photography and film that these delightful videos can capture the hearts of people like me — far far from the fashion world.)
thank you!
I am overwhelmed… This was wonderful, and touching, and magic.
And all your last videos, are just amazing!
Remember your post about incorporating videos in your blog?
I made a comment, which sounds so wrong right now: these last PMF videos have really touched me as interesting, inspiring, and very well executed.
I’m loving your work: you have really a great talent and you look wonderful inside out.
Thank you for bringing us to fashion week!
thank you so so much for these gorgeous videos! i get such vicarious pleasure from ‘going with you’ and ‘meeting’ or seeing all these places and people that i usually just read about.
one of your best videos! fantastic
Bonjour !! Je ne sais pas si c’est ici que dois dire ça ou pas mais je n’arrive jamais à lire les vidéos en entier !! Voilà, j’aimerais savoir comment faire pour pouvoir les voir car j’adore !!
Bonne continuation à tout l’équipe Doré :)
… poi con questa musica, è un piccolo capolavoro, ‘sto film! ma che musica è, che suona tipo “lo Scaccianoci” o comunque tipo “Tchaikovsky”??? che musica è?
Quelle belle vidéo! Et voir ces couturières en plein travail m’a laissé sans voix, un travail de fourmis pour un ouvrage immensément beau et unique. Vraiment top cette vidéo!
x
Love it once again!!
http://bonnieclydemarni.blogspot.gr/
Garance, your videos are SUCH a feast for the eyes and the soul… you open up my world to a place I can only imagine. I am a photographer living in Vancouver, Canada and each morning I watch and live vicariously through you. THANK you for sharing and inspiring! Keep up the GREAT work. xo
That is why Valentino is considered “The Last Emperor.”
Such intricate handiwork – molto benne! Great video! Only Anna del Russo can get away wearing an ostrich cocktail dress at 10:00 a.m.!
Check out the latest jesusfernandez lingerie (Buenos Aires) glamor video on youtube (only 3 min.):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LygRLoH9AVs&feature=youtu.be
J’adore cette collection! Je veux tout!!
nan mais cette musique, cette musique… comme un ballet de la mode, c’est le “Lac des Cygnes” de la mode, mêlé à “l’Apprenti sorcier” de Dukas (toi, apprentie-sorcière fée qui dévale et monte les marches), et ce crescendo poétique à la fin, c’est su-perbe!! mais dis-nous quelle est cette musique “da sogno”??!!
wow, what an experience to see something like this! I mean, not only see but experience it! I can’t even find the right words, this is how beautiful I found it to be. Not only the clothes, not only the show but the entire package. Again, wow, and thank you so so much for sharing it with us!
J’aime tellement Valentino, leur collection est vraiment une pure merveille! Et de voir une preview en plus, merci Garance!

Garance,
Thank you so much for your beautiful videos!
You present them with such simplicity and and so gracefully!
It’s strange, I feel that I’m right there by your side!!
Greetings from Athens!
As much as people like Isabel Marant, I am not a fan. I really don’t seem to like what she does. but I guess that’s the beauty of it all… that there’s enough for everyone.
Oh! Wow! A dream! That would be THE DREAM come true for me, a preview, where you can actually touch and feel the fabric and watch how they create the pieces of art! That would be better than sitting front row! And I love the music you chose for this video, dreamlike!
Oh Garance you are fantastic. I love your videos.
And what a life! I’d love to be rushing to get into those shows with beautiful clothes. What are the people like though? In general, it seems like a somewhat obnoxious, arrogant industry, and I wondered what is true of that from someone who lives it from the very inside. Is the fashion show as superficial as it seems? Is there space for amateurs who would like to watch a fashion show in fashion week for example, or for spontaneity among the people who attend this kind of events? (of course, not counting you with your loveliness!) I hope you can write a post or do a video on this at some stage…
What are your favourite Paris spots Garance? I’d love to know those hidden gems that only a Parisian can tell you about. Places to see, cafés, places to go for a walk, clubs, shops, parks…?
je veux me marier en Valentino!!
Eh ben moi Garance,
Je n’aime pas la façon dont ton nouveau blog est fait, et dieu sait pourtant à quel point je t’estime, aime ce que tu fais photos, textes, vidéos, bref, tes innovation mais là NON. Je n’aime pas après avoir lue un texte savoir qu’il n’était pas de toi mais de quelqu’un que je ne connais pas, que je ne suis pas de puis plusieurs années maintenant comme toi. Bref, je trouve que ton blog te reflète moins, qu’il se dépersonnalise que c’est plus un “job” même si je reconnais qu’il a une belle allure, bien articulé avec de belles productions mais il manque quelque chose pour moi… Nostalgique un peu
C’est juste superbe! Une vidéo qui nous rappelle que la mode c’est avant tout des petites mains, de la modestie, du travail, de l’art.
Bravissimo!
http://www.lecritiquedeparfum.com/ ?
They are amazing! Did everyone notice they have pictures of Susan Sontag on their inspiration board! They design for women who appreciate beautiful fashion but also women who READ! How crazy is that!
omadonnachemeravigliaaaaaa!!!! What a privilege to have this quick peek! And your choice of musical soundtrack is always so perfect Grarance!
i LOVE the music on this video!
Thanks for the Valentino’s secret! so beautiful!
Let’s take a fashion shower XD
Gorgeous video, gorgeous Valentino. I love your perspective of fashion, you give it life and make it feel very tangible.
Inspirant ce vernissage et très cinématographiques tes plans lors du défilé final. Comme l’impression de visionner un rêve plein de nostalgie.
Sublime ! On se sent porté comme dans un rêve avec cette vidéo !
Mille mercis Garance !
Merci pour m’avoir fait rêver Garance !
:)
It’s one of the most beautiful collections I’ve ever seen!! Thanks for showing us those things that never appear on magazines!!
Super ! amazing that you were able to see the couturieres at work !
http://www.alexavoncanisius.com/blog/
WOW!!! Thanks Garance for this video. It is such a delight for your eyes!!! I was literaly hypnotised by the delicatessen of all the materials used… I think you appreciate even more the show once you’ve seen closely the work provided by the all Valentino team.
Thanks again Garance! You made my day :)
Une video vraiment pleine de féérie, un petit bonheur en cette fin de journée. J’ai aimé encore plus que d’habitude la façon dont les vêtements ont été filmés dans le détail, la douceur et la délicatesse (peut-être est-ce du au ralenti) très précieux.
It’s good to see and KNOW that Valentino IS Valentino and always will be.

The video is perfect. Good job.

C’était tout simplement magnifique! Quel sensation magique de voir prendre vie ce que l’on n’a mis tant d’amour à confectionner. J’ai de plus en plus tes vidéos Garance! Pardon My French c’est devenu culte pour moi!
OMG! you made such a beautiful video. It was like to be in a dream. And may I add something? see all this italian woman working for an italian brand make fell so proud for my country and the made in italy1
You did a great work, as usual!
By far my favourite video! Like a charming fairy-tale!

oh my god how AMAZINGGGGG!! Maybe it’s the behind the scenes look, maybe it’s the music/atmosphere, but it’s the first time I feel like I want to be a Valentino woman =) And not just, oh i want that jacket… that sorta thing. Thank you so much for taking us back stage!
Ah Valentino, my favourite. Tellement beau et elegant!
http://www.valleydollsvintage.etsy.com
Garance your best yet !!! I love the attention to detail and the skill of the artisans who make this possible in a world of mass production. Thanks xx
Garance your and your teams work is so well done! You managed to do a delicate video to a fragil and delicate collection. It’s just perfect! Never saw something that well done ( in fashion) . Keep going we all enjoy it so much!

Garance, you just lived my fashion dream. Ah sigh…Valentino.. Does it make me crazy that I want to be one of the ladies sewing by hand in that room? Unfortunately I am not Italian (but my boyfriend is)! I wonder if they’d take me! ;)
This video is incredible! You did a fabulous job and the music fit beautifully with the piece. Keep up the work and keep inspiring other to step outside their comfort zone as well.
Valentino always brings tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat! So, so, so beautiful. Thank you SO much for sharing that beautiful video Garance *:)
Dear Garance,
Your videos this week have been so incredible. They have taken me inside the world of fashion week in a way I have never been to able to go before. (A way I doubt I ever will be able to first hand, because I have taken such a different direction with my life, but still remain passionate about fashion.) So, a thousand thank yous to you!
Merci,
Elizabeth
Anna is so fun!
I am swooning all over these clothes. Gorgeous <3
The Lovelorn
Délicat, aérien. Ce ne sont pas des vêtements qui me plaisent personnellement, mais le traitement qui leur est réservé dans ce vidéo est très fin.
First… I have to say I love your outfit!! I’ve been looking for different ways to wear a peplum top I have and you have inspired me.
Second, what a dream. To hear from the people who make and handle these pieces, to hear and see what is behind them is so interesting. And the clothes are so breathtaking, so delicate but strong. Wonderful film.
Absolutely Stunning!!!
Garance, thanks so very much for taking me to the Valentino preview with you. This was the first time for me too! My mother was a consummate seamstress for forty years and I’m quite proud of that. Seeing the craftsmanship in this video — the women sewing, the designers showing the details of the garments — made my heart swell.
I don’t know if your reaction to Anna’s dress was edited out, or whether you’ve become so blase because you see her rather often. She’s hilarious! I just love her spirit!
You’re showing even more of yourself these days, and showing us more of the fashion world. I liked you very much before but now I’m totally in love with you!
Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible for you to upload the videos to upload the videos to any websites apart from youtube as well (eg. in China there is youku) for people who live in countries where youtube is blocked… although yeah not sure if it’s worth it because there may not be that many readers in this situation! anyway, love your blog!
love your work! keep it up girl!
Quelle beauté!
thanks so much for taking me into Valentino!! So cool!
I need a fashion shower!
WHAT A DREAM ! Ces créations sont sublimes, d’une finesse ! Et tellement inspirantes…
Tellement délicat, cette vidéo fait rêver et nous transporte ! Garance c’est de mieux en mieux, tu arrives à aller toujours PLUS haut. Ce blog fait parti de MON essentiel.
Love.

Comme c’est gentil !!! Merci beaucoup Charlene !
Merci Garance. You are such a genius. Amazing talent, beauty and generosity. Thank you soo much for sharing and giving us that touch of beauty and glamour!!
Many Hugs
Thank you so much Jeanette. I don’t know if I am a genius, but the designers and all the seamstresses of Valentino surely are !!!
J’adore Valentino. So delicate, so feminine , so elegant. Thank you for this fabulous video Garance. XOXO
Amazing world of real fashion!!!!
http://nikascorpio.blogspot.com/
Beautiful, beautiful, wow, wow, wow!!! I love it when you see ‘the making of’..what a craftmanship, wow.
I had tears in my eyes. Absolutely a dream. Thanks!
Wow, finally something beautiful after the mega-boring LV, Miu Miu, Saint Laurent and so on…
Alors, j’ai particulierement adoré votre derniére vidéo. .Non pas parce que vous montrez le travail derriere toute ces oeuvres mais surtour parce que vous tissez vous-meme vos images d’émerveillement, de respect et d’émotions qui sont infiniment touchants et contagieux. Votre vidéo m’a permise de déplacer radicalement mon angle d’appréciation de ces pièces et enrichit mon émerveillement de l’Art derrière la beauté .Continuez comme ca !
Oh. My.God.
So gorgeous.
And the music you’ve chosen makes you feel like you are really living an impalpable dream made of the same material of those lace dresses…
In these cases I’m so proud to be italian.
With love,
M.
Mais mon Dieu, Garance, quel plaisir pour les yeux (et les oreilles!!) cette vidéo !!
Merci de nous faire partager tous ces moments avec autant de délicatesse, de générosité …
Ce blog est un véritable moyen d’évasion !!
Merci encore …
Mélanie
Pure beauty… in the mood of love… so much sky for my eyes and heart…
Merci beaucoup, Garance!
Absolutely gorgeous clothes – I’d wear all of them!
Merci encore Garance de nous faire partager toutes ces merveilles… J’aime beaucoup cette façon que tu as d’aborder la mode, avec un côté très humain, très subtil et très intelligent (et non pas éphémère et volatile… qui passe d’un truc à l’autre…). Merci merci* merci à ta super équipe aussi. I’m a big fan!!!! bizz* Aurélie*
Je ne suis pas fan des passages parlés dans la série des ‘Pardon My French’, mais les images et surtout la musique…! <3
Je ne sais pas qui choisit la musique mais ça me fait acheter un album presque à chaque fois, et c'est devenu rare!
Merci!
Wow! Cette vidéo est vraiment géniale, tu nous donnes tellement grâce à ces vidéos, merci!
Bisous

This video is so beautifully shot. Amazing! Just so airy and flowed so magically just like the Valentino collection. You guys are amazing!!!!!
Garance, would it be ok if i press the like/love/heart button a thousand times? :)
T…….H…….A……N…….K……..S for sharing!!!
ok, garance, i just tried to really press the like/love/heart button a thousand times. and – stupid me – just realized i cannot do that anyway;) so just imagine that i have done it, ok?
Lovely videopost!
Valentino is as beautiful as always!

The best pardon my french video ever….valentino….how sublime and romantic
Great video – supremely shot and edited!
http://blog.cbuy.tv/
Che bello!
c’est magnifique, j’aime tout! c’est un travail impressionnant.
quelle est la musique de cette video? c’est très joli ça aussi.
Top video! j’adore la musique ET LA COLLECTION
Ciao x
Garance, this videos of behind the scenes are very interesting. I love to see the people who actually put the manual labor into making beautiful clothing. The clothes were very beautiful.
This preview is a very nice way, intimate way of showing the collection. Ordinary people like me could understand it more, rather than when it’s already in the runway, looking at the photos. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful video as always ! Whats the music behind ??
I loved this – it’s the first time I think I saw the art of fashion, instead of it just being an enterprise directed towards the rich. Fashion is beautiful for its own sake at this level – the intricacy and detail and finesse – rather than being merely one more consumable for the wealthy. Thank you so much for revealing this – and with so much respect.
very impressive video, like to see this.
La collection est juste incroyable ! J’adore :)
xx.
wonderful…thank you for sharing…just lovely!!
Congratulations for this videos!! They’re wonderful and very funny! Thanks for sharing all this with us.
Ah Garance!!! Tu nous fait rêver …
Garance tu m’as inspirée de porter une chemise sous mon top péplum, merci!
Garance,
cette vraiment cette vidéo est très originale! C’est vraiment de mieux en mieux, tu trouves ton ton!
Si je peux me permettre j’adorerais en savoir plus sur les coulisses de la mode, les premières d’atelier, les créateurs et les petites mains qui font de si belles pièces! On vient d’entrevoir un peu l’envers des show…j’aimerais tellement en voir un peu plus. C’est passionnant de voir le travail à l’oeuvre. ;)
Je viens de revoir ce magnifique vidéo!!!! C’est vraiment un hommage extraordinaire à des artisanes et des artistes d’exception!!!! Un de mes pardon my french préféré!!!! Bravo à Garance et son équipe!!!!!
Exquisite video, watching it is like being a fairytale. I adore the music but cannot find what it is. Would you mind telling us ?
