Valentino
Haute Couture Spring 2012
White and dusty hues were the
colors of the hour at the Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli-designed
Valentino Spring 2012 Haute Couture collection, which included a gorgeous
bridal look that impressively managed to look innocent, despite notable
sheerness.
Long sleeves, high necks, and
dusty floral prints brought eighteenth century dress to mind. Unlike previous
seasons where such tendencies left a dowdy impression, this collection struck
as fresh and wearable. Further, while some of the looks did appear heavy – in
true eighteenth century style – there were more lightweight, delicate ones that
will likely hold appeal for many in the arty-cool crowd (think Chloe Sevigny).
While it was mostly about
evening dress, the capes, coats, and jackets stood out as particularly strong,
notably those with embroidered and lace details
