presenting a collection in opposition of the bright florals & stark white pieces shown by other labels, maria grazia chiuri & pier paolo piccioli continue to produce beautiful design for the house of valentino. this season, as almost a continuation of their couture collection in lesser form; chiuri & piccioli created clean lines, vintage silhouettes & sheer dresses. streamlined through design, the collection presents it’s own rendition of floral elements & print, using floral embroidered concepts which allow the collection to stand as a separate entity of design. red tones are used in a few of the collections pieces to represent the contrasting seen by other collections & some elements of ruffles are seen & add ethereal glamour in perfected doses. beautiful use of palette with the addition of sheer- the black & neutral with hints of gold add the right amount of style & refinement to the collections pieces. though simple, each design is striking with a clear direction & creative translation.
