Religious

There were only ten looks from whole collection that can be forgived because Sara Burton has new twins! Congratulations! And why forgive? Because the collection was so beautiful and really haute couture, and I would love it longer. It was a continuation of Pre-Fall collection that was full of church inspirations. This time Burton divided the ten into five subgroups: Communion, nuns, cardinals, popes, and angels. In a scarcely believable but timely twist for McQueen, Britain’s most senior Catholic cardinal has just stepped down in the wake of one of those sex scandals that endlessly plague the Vatican in the twilight of its domain.
The dresses were so amazing! Lots of embroidery, silk, pearls, gold, ornaments… Ah, so baroque and opulent! It was luxurious but not RTW! That’s for sure. But I love it so much. And the interior of runway? An old palace with lots of decorations and rich lamps!

I never wrote about Valentino in the past, because it always seemed to me boring and without any vigour. But this time it was totally another. What I loved, there were so much inspirations! And mostly from Netherlands, where these things are common. The collection started with models wearing black dresses with collars and a ponytail hair in the front. After looking at the moodboard of Valentino, that had to be inspired with nuns costumes! Pretty religious! And then the dresses camre in indigo colour. For sure, the new red is blue colour at Valentino!

What more: there was the print of known around the world Delftwere blue porcelain! It’s hand painted in a small city Delft in Holland. It was used in amazing way on dresses, tops and trousers. In reality there was a lot of flower tapestry that is Velentino’s classic. What I loved, is that there was a lot of modernity in few dresses- these with semicircles on shoulders and sides. And I like it!
