Collection review
The heritage Italian brand found
in 1960 by Valentino Garavani, for more than 50 years has been associated
with femininity, perfect aesthetic taste and luxury. Earning his name as
exquisite and glamorous dressmaker, Valentino was famous with using opulent
fabrics, embroidery and pleating. Keeping Masters’s classical looks Maria
Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Picciioli created collection with a Woman in mind
that appropriates the present moment. In the current collection we can see
these frilled tulle dresses and it is straight flashback to 1970s historical
collections.

All the shapes, silhouettes and
fabrics are parts of the "ballade to femininity' that makes collection
look modern but timeless the same time. In the world of "Valentino"
elegance meets with uniqueness and distinction. Typical Valentino's 'waterfall
dress' from Spring/Summer 1976 collection today was interpreted by Maria
and Paolo with nude silk and V-neck shape.

The way models were gracefully
walking, keeping their back straight, holding the body in the dancers position,
accompanied with charming soul-touching music makes a wonderful story about
endless inspiration of fashion from art and culture of Romance. "The
collection was inspired by ballet and tells us a story about beauty of overtimes",
- commented on his work Pierpaolo Picciioli.

Everyone
who has been to the dance class at least once would say that dancers don't wear
makeup. Especially when it comes to warm-ups or trainings. Their hair is
always up (showing the tenderness of the neck and shoulders) and tightly rolled
in a "ban". The sensation of flawless skin, accurately shaped
eyebrows, naturally colored mate lips, pinky blush, accompanied by sculpture
highlighting (so-called 'strobing') give us the full signature dancers
look.
All the details starting from
makeup and hairstyle, finishing with accessories make us believe that we see
not professional models but dancers. So the point by Path McGrath and her team
has been reached excellently. The models at the stage looked like they have
just finished their dance classes, took a cab and came to the catwalk.
The speed of todays big city
life is all about movement, mirrors that unstoppable growth. A contemporary
woman doesn't have time to change her clothes for every occasion. She leaves
home early, drinking her coffee on the way to the office, and comes back home
late at night. She looks for pretty and effective garments that would be easy
to wear. This idea of freedom from "what do other people
think", is a "red ribbon line" that goes through all catwalk
looks. This is a story not about the glamour but about freedom, style and
individual perfection. Most of the looks demonstrate that Woman still can
be elegant and not freezing cold.

So dress as you like, but never forget that you
are perfect just the way you are!
