SEPTEMBER 10, 2007
The red carpet meets the runway when the stars of film
and fashion align during the 2007 Toronto International
Film Festival. CTV announced today the second in a series
of exclusive red carpet events to be held at its Festival
Headquarters at 299 Queen Street West. "FashionTelevision
Celebrates Valentino" will see one of Hollywood's
most cherished designers feted on Monday, September 10
in an ultra-exclusive runway event and fashion show hosted
by FashionTelevision's Jeanne Beker.
He was inspired by Hollywood ... and Hollywood helped
make him a star! Valentino's strong association with Hollywood
and its stars over the years has been unparalleled. The
Italian couturier believes modern-day movie stars should
always look glamorous and, as a result, the stars of the
silver screen became his most important clients. From
Liz Taylor to Julia Roberts, Sarah Jessica Parker to Jackie
O, Ashley Judd to Uma Thurman to Gwyneth Paltrow, Hollywood
loves Valentino. Now, as luminaries from Hollywood and
beyond descend upon the city for the Toronto International
Film Festival, CTV honours Valentino's 45 years of fashion
with this unique celebration.
At "FashionTelevision Celebrates Valentino,"
CTV's Festival Headquarters will be transformed into a
world-class fashion event with cocktails and couture.
A VIP list of special guests from Hollywood and beyond
will enjoy cocktails before being treated to a spectacular
fashion show featuring Valentino's 2007 Fall/Winter Collection.
In a first for CTV's 299 Queen West environment, special
guests will look on as the collection is presented on
a spectacular 80-foot runway created just for this special
night.
Hosted by Jeanne Beker, "FashionTelevision Celebrates
Valentino" serves as a "teaser" for the
upcoming, one-hour biography Valentino, Master of Style,
set to air on CTV and FashionTelevision Channel at a later
date. |
