Valentino

This season, Valentino's new designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, presented a collection meant to revitalize the Valentino brand. Obviously, before the man behind the name left, it wasn't creatively suffering, but Chiuri and Piccioli made the conscious decision to make this collection more youthful than those of the past. Nothing says youthful like short, party dresses, and there were more than a few. They weren't typical in that, they were more romantic than party dresses ofter are. There were ruffles for everyone. If you want to live in a gray bush of ruffles (I know I do!), Valentino has got you covered. Another noteworthy look was a leather "lace" dress. It epitomized the collection's merging worlds of soft and hard. Tim Blanks described it as a "fairytale gone wrong", but it looks oh so right...

I've recently discovered a "details" section in the collections on style.com, and have decided these shoes must be showcased.
