This article discusses the design process of the Valentino gown worn by actress Cate Blanchett for the 2005 Academy Awards event. If Cate Blanchett seemed to glow as she accepted her Best Supporting Actress award for her role as Kate Hepburn in "The Aviator," her gown deserved at least part of the credit. The color, says Valentino, who designed the dress just for her, is "pale and very, very soft. It is great for her skin." Like most top designers, Valentino has offered gowns to many actresses for past awards shows. But couture, he says, is "an enormous amount of long work and details. I prefer to work with people who understand and respect it. Everything is sewn by hand and fit two or three times. So this time I decided to have one special dress, conceived for this one special actress." The couture process is indeed special--for both the creator and wearer. The day after Valentino's Paris show on Jan. 24, 2005, Blanchett received her Oscar nod, and Valentino--who says he had always wanted to dress Hepburn and loved "The Aviator"--called Blanchett to congratulate her. Within a week of her viewing his collection online, the two met in London and settled on the fabric and details of the gown. Back in Rome, Valentino screened "The Aviator" for his staff, who began working full-time on the dress. |
