FashionTelevision Presents Valentino: King of Couture marks 21 years since Jeanne Beker's first one-on-one conversation with the reigning grand master of design. Since then, she has interviewed Valentino dozens of times.

"One of most prolific and inspiring designers in the world, Valentino's vision of elegance and beauty has helped define chic feminine style for over 40 years," said Beker. "Without question, he's one of those inspired and inspiring designers who's kept me personally intrigued and enthralled by the fashion world these past 22 years." Beker will be in Paris to cover the final show for FashionTelevision.

FashionTelevision Presents Valentino: King of Couture also features rare footage from FT's and Valentino's own archives and provides a look at the stunning repertoire of signature dresses that have been seducing Hollywood's elite and the fashion critics alike. Beker speaks with some of Valentino's most ardent fans including celebrities Gwyneth Paltrow, Uma Thurman, Elizabeth Hurley, Giorgio Armani and Elle Macpherson. She also seeks comment from savvy members of the world's fashion media including Hilary Alexander (Daily Telegraph), Godfrey Deeny (Fashion Wire Daily), Hal Rubenstein (In Style), Patrick McCarthy (Women's Wear Daily) - all of whom have nothing but praise for the style icon.
