Walk the Walk: Valentino S/S 2016 Haute Couture Collection

Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli never fail to amaze the fashion crowd with their Valentino creations. On Wednesday the duo presented the S/S 2016 Haute Couture collection and it was as romantic and elegant as you could imagine.

Spanish designer Mariano Fortuny, dancers Isadora Duncan and Loie Fuller, and French author Marcel Proust are the inspirations for this particular collection. Sheer floor length dresse has become one of the signature looks of this fashion house and this season some of these dresses are combined with colourful velvet fabrics. The craftsmanship is impeccable as a lot of us (including me) are mesmerized by the embroideries, the different usage of velvet, and how some of the dresses (e.g the gold mesh dress) do not require sewing at all. Also, the accessories are very outstanding here as the snake headgear and the body chains are adding an exotic vibe to all the outfits on the runway.

I still don't know how Maria and Pierpaolo can create 6 collections a year for Valentino, but one thing for sure, they never disappoint!
