		The reason for the "staying power" of the house of Valentino for so many years is that my work has been anchored in the lessons of history, art and study.
		During my first seven years as a young assistant in Paris, I earned $800 a month so that I could study with the great designers of that time, like Jean Desses and Jacques Fath.
		When I launched my first collections, everyone could see that some elements of my designs — the use of pleated skirts and the georgette draped dresses — were inspired by their work.

		Though you may not be willing to go as far as I have (in my checkered past, I once wore a flapper dress to a business conference), don't worry that you'll look—or feel—foolish in vintage.
		After all, Julia Roberts and Renée Zellweger were anything but silly in the vintage gowns—Valentino for Roberts, Jean Desses for Zellweger—they sported on the Oscar red carpet.
		Just remember: whether you feel comfortable in a full-blown padded-shouldered 1940's number or confine yourself to a pair of alligator pumps, you'll be happiest buying the best.

		A rare, late 1940s lilac chiffon from Jean Desses, who stopped designing in 1963.
		Originally owned by a Wells Fargo president's wife who loved Paris couture, the ruched silk, sweetheart neckline and intricate goddess train make this gown classically Desses.
		As his pieces cost $6,000-$9,000 each, the dress is packed in acid-free tissue and stored in a cardoard box, safe from light, heat and moisture -- and it's only taken out to visit Brown's Dry Cleaners.
