"    Next week&amp;#039;s Valentino show in Paris will be the third ready-to-wear collection since founding designer Valentino Garavani&amp;#039;s retirement, but for those nostalgic to relive his glory days, a new volume promises a fitting tribute. Valentino was originally created as a limited collectors&amp;#039; edition for $1,800, but Taschen will release the Unlimited Popular edition in May for $70. Celebrating the 45-year career of the designer, who dressed everyone from Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy to Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez, the tome pays homage to his work through a multitude of images from his archives, including sketches, editorial shoots, advertisements, and self portraits. Edited by Armando Chitolina, former art director for Vogue Italia and L&amp;#039;Uomo Vogue, the book includes magazine and newspaper articles, a tribute by International Herald Tribune fashion editor Suzy Menkes, and interviews with the designer&amp;#039;s closest friends and collaborators by Matt Tyrnauer. Fashion fanatics, take note: This perfect coffee-table topper is already available for pre-order on Amazon.com.  \u2014Meredith Stebbins More images from Valentino after the jump  Photos: Courtesy of Taschen    Contact sheets from the 1960s of Valentino Garavani   A salmon cr\u00EApe dress worn by Jacqueline Kennedy on her trip to Cambodia in 1967   A haute couture evening dress from the F/W 1996 collection "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
