Giambattista Valli

When I think of Giambattista I think of feminine fashion done up with feathers and fur, which can at times cross into the pointedly excessive, such as this gorgeous peacock piece on Leigh Lezark.

As excess is something I treasure, rather than look down upon, Valli often sends me to a fantastic dream word, where I am free to immerse myself in the beauty of his work. I was happy to see he had not completely conformed to the shift to Minimalism that I've discussed in previous posts, though there are some traces of the movement, and lovely traces at that. Nods to the Sixties, from the mini to winged eyeliner, successfully came across as modern and relevant, without losing any luster on the way. A nice touch of the Sexual Revolution came across with sheer fabrics exposing bras, stomachs, and panties, among other elements so cleverly realized.
Now I'm off to keep on dreaming because dreaming is free.
