It feels like Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli are finally starting to understand Valentino. The understated yet interesting silhouettes, the feminine ruffles on bold shapes, and the mix of 60′s gamine and elegance are what Valentino is about. They hit the mark with some of the dresses, although some were slightly exaggerated versions of Valentino that ended up looking like oversized babies’ dresses. But I’d say this collection gives me hope about these two designers’ ability to take after their fake tanned master.
I love…
Prim and proper with a touch of sass (I can't believe I said the word sass.)
navy blue evening wear. So much more interesting than black.
couture lacework.
a new interpretation of 80's Valentino.
I loathe…
this ridiculous flower.
looking like a big baby or a tacky doll.
