Valentina has been featured in print advertisements for Tommy Hilfiger, Coach, Calvin Klein, and Ralph Lauren, with whom she signed a seven-year deal, appearing in several high-profile campaigns for the designer. Her runway credits include Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Gucci and Valentino.
On the controversial issue of banning underweight models from Milan Fashion Week, she said, "I think it's discrimination. We are skinny, this is our work. There are lots of overweight people working in offices but I'm not going to say, 'This girl is fat, she can't work in an office'."

YEA SHE IS BEAUTIFUL AND I AGREE WITH WHAT SHE SAYS ABOUT BIGGER MODLES IN FASHION SHOW. THE SHOWS AND FASHION IS DEPICTED BY THE DESIGNER SO SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE A SAY ON THE MODELS THEY WANT.
ANYWAY I MISS YOU FE

she's beautiful but I don't really like what she said about being skinny... that's a lot more complex I think.

Oh Nek, I'm missing you as well. You've been away for quite a while :) Hope you're doing great, sweetheart!
Thanks for letting me know, Tuesdai! Thanks, thanks, thanks. I'm so thrilled to get lots more of those pictures.
Well, what an insightful thought of you Susan. As for me, aside from agreeing to her comment or not. I think everybody has a free right to have her view and say it outloud. We just have to respect each other's stand :)
Happy easter to you to, CL sweetie...
Oh thanks for the compliment, hopelle. Nice to have you around. Please do come back sometime in the future...
I love Valentina! She's a classic beauty. I saw her at the Rose Bar in NYC a few years ago and she's just as gorgeous in person. Thanks for posting such gorgeous pix of her :)
