Review: Valentino, Renewed, Refreshed & Modern

Since Valentino has left his brand, new designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli have completely revamped the brand. It pretty obvious that they're trying to generate a younger audience with this Haute Couture collection. since Spring 2009 we've really seen the shift from classic Valentino into this new age of the label. i love where Maria & Pier are taking the brand, with the state of alot fashion houses i think that its smart to switch up things a bit. now where celebrity & media focus is at an all time high you want to create clothes that you know young stars will wear.

Style.com Called the collection "Garden Of Eden in Cyberworld" and i dont think i could have put it anymore perfectly. The clothes themseleves were very romantic with the ruffled chiffon and pastel colors. But then you get this space age feel with the blue sprayed shoulders & eyes, the fantasy tribal styling and the overall warrior feel you kind of got. but with all of that it was still feminine and ver very modern. Usually when you think of Couture, you think of heavy beading and embroidery, and gowns. but this collection showed you a different side. and i have to say one of my favorite collections from Valentino to date.
