Other information

This course explores the life and work of the legendary Italian designer Valentino Garavani, often called “The Last Emperor of Fashion.” Through beautiful vintage and contemporary documentaries we will discover his early life, creative influences and the fashion world that shaped his remarkable career.

We will follow Valentino’s rise to international fame and explore the collaborations, inspirations and moments that defined his elegant and unmistakable style. By viewing his Fashion Week shows from Milan, Paris and New York City over the decades, we will also see how his influence continues to shape the world of haute couture today.

The start date for acceptance of paper Enrolment Forms for first semester is published on the U3APP website and in the e-Bulletin. Enrolment Forms received before this date are treated as though they had been received on the start date (ie there is no advantage to be gained by submitting early). On the start date and thereafter, paper Enrolment Forms are numbered in order of receipt.  Paper Enrolment forms are processed by U3APP volunteers on the same day as on-line bookings.

If your enrolment is successful, you will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.

If your enrolment is unsuccessful,  you will receive an email telling you that you have been waitlisted.
