Valentino's Soft Highlights For Spring

Valentino's Spring & Summer Collection 2010

What is in store for Spring from Valentino's perspective? "We wanted to tell a new fairy tale," said Paolo Piccioli, who presented the collection along side Maria Grazia Chiuri. The collection was designed for a NEW generation in mind. A new generation? A new look? This seasons weddings will be all about the soft elegance found in English paintings, filled with soft pastels, and tones of nude, rose, lavender, gold, and gray. This spring and summer we shall see this trend continue as everyone is turning towards the soft romance seen in kisses smothered with glossy pink lips and creamy skin only seen in old romance novels. Flowing fabrics and swirling organza, transparent fabrics, embroidering, and antique laces is what Valentino's new 2010 collection is all about. Ruffles, feathers and organza make a statement which has been over the top, big, and full of detail. The most lavish unexpected surprise of Valentino's collection were details of the lace shoes featuring wispy lace fabrics arched up the leg. This season I don't think this will be the end of this baroque extravagance.
