Valentino : The Time We’re In
8 years ago by
Did you see the Valentino show? (online… on instagram … IRL .. over your friends shoulder at dinner while they looked at the show on their phone?)
I finally sat down for breakfast, with a toasted baguette, to take a good look at the collection … and, well, gushed. It’s obvious I have a weakness for ballet inspired collections, but despite all the obvious references, it felt elegant and romantic in a way I could aspire to.
The idea of layering a taupe catsuit leotard with a scooping neckline under a draped taupe body skimming dress… Ahhhh, so lovely. The large, leather coats slung over delicate tulle skirts hit the perfect cord for me of tough yet feminine. THAT girl is cool – without trying. And its really a look that is easily translated into real life, slip dresses, sheaths and large coats worn over bodysuits … So simple, yet so effective. And un-fussed.

Le défilé Valentino, c’est toujours quelque chose… Et celui-ci était particulièrement sublime ! Cette robe noire, ces inspirations… J’ai adoré !!
