Who's Valentine?

Born in London during the reign of Biba and then, as Mary Quant launched her mini skirt, VBL followed her parents to Paris where she grew up.She was a good little girl.As a shy 17 year old she began as a dresser in the theatre where blushing wildly she helped dress Gerard Depardieu and Barbara.She liked this a lot.A few years later it dawned on her that she would become a costume designer. This kept her busy working with the best film directors in both France and England.She made, amongst others, the costumes for “Nikita” (Luc Besson), “Roselyne et les Lions” (Jean - Jacques Beineix), in England “B. Monkey” (Michael Radford), to mention but a few.Next she wanted new challenges, new adventures.She spent a season following fashion as a stylist for Cosmopolitan.And finally…She came back to London. Where since 2005 she’s been feverishly combining words and precious metals and this union has resulted in her latest creation : Valentinetags.

...remember this ?

"A couple of years ago, the actor Ryan O’Neal failed to recognize his own daughter Tatum at a funeral and accidentally made a pass at her. Everyone was very judgmental about this, but not me: only a few weeks earlier, I’d been in a mall in Las Vegas when a very pleasant-looking woman came toward me, her arms outstretched, and I thought to myself, who is this woman? How do I know her? It turned out to be my sister Amy. You might think, well, how was she to know her sister was in Las Vegas, but I’m sorry to say that not only did I know, but she was the person I was meeting in the mall."
