Walk the Walk: Valentino S/S 2015 Menswear Collection

Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli presented the S/S 2015 Valentino runway show on the first day of Paris Menswear fashion week. Of course, this collection did not disappoint at all.

For this season, the designers pushed the menswear envelope again by transferring the colourful prints from the womenswear to the menswear. The animal print and the tulip print suits were 2 of the best examples of this new approach. There were also some loose fit pieces which showed the bohemian vibe. The camouflage had a new colour palette, which became more retro than the previous seasons.

As for the accessories, the 2 tone bags were great for men, and the abstract face pins were something fun for next year. Fans of the Valentino sneakers would rejoice because the designers created a potential new staple piece for the fashion house - those new 2-tone sneakers were great!

Now I am very curious to see what Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli  have in store for us for the F/W 2014 Haute Couture collection.


Pros:
- Aside from camouflage, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli use the floral and animal prints on the menswear. It's a pleasant surprise.
- The face pins and the floral print scarves will be hit items next year. Especially the pins, they are so surreal and edgy.
- Loving the couture elements of this collection (embroidery, cutting of the outerwear etc)
- The military green pieces with butterfly embroideries are like the modern version of boy scout uniforms.  
- The sneakers should be the new staple pieces of the brand.

Cons:
- Wish the bags could have the floral prints.

5 Must Haves:
- Animal print suit
- Face pin
- 2 tone leather bag
- Sneakers
- Burgundy & white hoodie
