Valentino Resort 2015
Since 2009, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli have been flying the Valentino flag with floral embroideries, aristocratic elegance, sumptuously rich appliques and highly detailed, romantic prints.
This injection of colour right into the middle of an otherwise signature Valentino Resort collection of embroidered butterflies, flowers and classic modesty, is a shake up like no other. Its inspiration is taken directly from the Valentino’s archives, with a “visually disruptive” psychedelic print from 1973.
This layered, pixellated, jarringly-bold collection of sixties silhouettes in bright chevrons over stripes over squares is seen right in the middle of a monumentally impressive eighty-three piece line-up. The only consistency with the other looks of the collection, are the delicate feminine plaits of the models’ hair and their signature chandelier earrings.
It’s certainly a wake up for the eyes and makes for an energetic start to this fine Monday morning.
