Pre-Fall: Valentino

VALENTINO...The collection looks like a Botticelli painting has been transferred to the clothes. I love the designs..reminds me of a fairytale movie with an edge.About the Botticelli reference,funny thing ..the designs were actually inspired from Sandro Botticelli's La Primavera. According to Style.com,
Birtwell contributed floral prints and embroideries inspired by Sandro Botticelli's La Primavera, and Fioroni designed a heart motif stitched with the phrase "Your eyes are the eyes of a woman in love" that appeared on everything from sweaters to gowns. The peace-and-love vibes were intentional. "We want to believe in a fantastic future," Grazia Chiuri said over the phone from Rome, acknowledging that current circumstances make a positive point of view an imperative. Fashion can't change the world—would that it were that easy—but even a committed nihilist would be hard-pressed to deny the beauty of a series of sheer gowns embroidered with stars, planets, and swirling constellations.
Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli signed up the British textile designer Celia Birtwell, the ex-wife of the late Ossie Clark and the woman behind his floral prints in the 1970s, as well as the Italian Pop Artist Giosetta Fioroni as collaborators this season. With a dozen collections to make a year (13 if you count the one-off couture show they put on here in New York in December), it's a wonder the Valentino designers don't do this kind of recruiting more often—especially when you consider how lovely their Pre-Fall collection turned out.
The fall collection showed layers,fringes,furs,pleats and sharp-looking denims and trousers.What I loved the most about the whole thing was use of Art in Fashion. I'm sure to say Valentino's Pre-Fall Collection was a favourite among many and I would hope to see them being donned on the upcoming Award shows or somewhere else.
