Starting with 60’s abstractive prints, progressing with birds, then with chunky sweaters and ending with butterflies, hearts and flowers… That was a very interesting twist for the house of Valentino. But was it necessary? I mean, the clothes were fantastic (that leather cape is my favourite). But so many themes were moved in this collection, that I got lost. It was somewhere between red geometrical patterns and Haute Couture embroidery. And this last gone with an embroidered heart was totally taken from another fairy-tale! That evening dress made out of butterfly tapestry is impressive. But it’s kind of not matching here. So what was the main idea? The new abstraction? Or the surreal beauty? I am still brain-storming that with myself…
