Valentino Haute Couture

Collezioni Haute Couture n. 169

Back to the great classics. Creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli looks towards couture by Charles James, seen through the lens of Cecil Beaton but, instead of imagining one kind of woman – the WASP – he imagined a strong black woman in all their splendor. Emphasized volumes that caress the body, rustling crisp skirts, swirls of satin and taffeta, prominent sleeves and bows, but also an ethereal floral daintiness, a gentle spring wind.
