VALENTINO SPRING 2010

Head designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli appear to be getting the hang of things at Valentino. This is their first spring RTW collection for the much loved house and things are looking good. They’re still maintaining the Valentino spirit with roses, bows, ruffles and delicate handwork while infusing it with a youthful eye.
A strapless lemon chiffon dress opened the show and there were other similar dresses in grey. Chanel Iman wore a ruffled bomber jacket with a matching miniskirt which looked like good old fashioned borgeouis fun. The most striking piece was an embroidered chiffon top cut like a t-shirt and worn with chiffon trousers. It was the most representative piece of what the designers are achieving, bridging the gap between old and new.
