Walk the Walk: Valentino S/S 2014 Haute Couture Collection

Today, Puerpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiur brought the audience to the Valentino version of safari forest.

The runway show opened with a very nice music notes motif tulle gown and at first, I thought the collection was inspired by musicals/ operas. I could be partially correct because the animal motifs in this collection somehow reminded me of Swan Lake and Lion King. The use of tutus made the garments to look very light and romantic, and I especially liked the black piece with butterflies embellishments. There were some very nice solid colour pieces, which looked very elegant on the runway.

Valentino is again on my favourite list this Haute Couture season, and I just hope this duo will continue to produce more nice garments in the future!


Pros:
- The entire collection is inspired by animals and nature, and I like how the team uses different styles of drawings on the garments.
- The use of tulle makes the pieces look very light and feminine.
- The colour palette is nice, as it matches the romantic aesthetic of the brand.
- Love the fringe element on some of the pieces, it spices up the outfits a lot.

Cons:
- I was expecting a few more pieces using the music notes pattern. 1 is not enough.

Eye Candies:
- The music notes tulle gown
- The animals print grey gown
- The lion print dress
- Forest print kimono inspired gown
