Valentina: American Couture and the Cult of Celebrity book by Kohle Yohannan, Harold Koda : Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. No notes or highlighting. See images. Format: Hardcover Author: Kohle Yohannan, Harold Koda ISBN: 9780847830831 Condition: Used - Very Good Beautiful, talented, and entirely self-created, Valentina (1899- 1990) was one of the most important and intriguing fashion designers of the twentieth century. Emigrating to New York from Russia in the early 1920s with her husband and business manager George Schlee, Valentina's early career as an ac- tress brought her into collaboration with some of the great names and talents of the stage and screen, including Leon Bakst and Michel Fokine of the Ballets Russes, Katharine Cornell (with whom she shared the stage), and screen god-dess Greta Garbo-with whom Valentina and George Schlee shared a much-talked-about lifelong liaison. The first American celebrity fashion designer of the twentieth century, Valentina lived on equal social footing with the high society and movie star clients she dressed-a formi- dable claim when one considers that Norma Shearer. Marlene Dietrich, Katharine Hepburn, Gloria Swanson, as well as gen- erations of Vanderbilts and Whitneys were all loyal Valentina customers.
