Lust Lust Lust..
Maria Grazia Chuiri and Pierpaolo Piccioli are producing the type of Valentino Collections that bleeds my soul.
I tell myself – it’s only clothes…but my heart knows better.
It’s as if they’ve stepped inside my head and cherry picked my favourite things: Blanket coats, proper boots, Doc shoes, loose but crisp, colours on the side of dusky..and handed them to me as a lighter than air, perfectly baked clafoutis.
The proportions make me smile with pure pleasure.
At first glance I thought this was a play on the boyfriend blazer..it is, but better – it’s a cape.
So clever.
How do they get it so right?
And then there is the Butterfly motif, Damien Hirst re-invented.
How understated can this be? And still pack a punch..
I need to lie down.

Gotto have the blanket jacket!
Would’ve been perfect for the snow of Switzerland..not so sure about the heat of Africa…! x
These pieces truly are works of art! It’s so hard to find something I don’t love, but the butterfly gown and eagle wing cape are especially amazing.
I know. I really want to choose something and save up for it..it’s not often I say that… x
Love the butterfly dress, amazing colors, love the perfect tailoring in the suits!
Aren’t the shoulders of the butterfly dress incredible? mimicking the wings..then the Butterflies graduating to the end..if I was tiny and up for an Oscar, I’d wear this… x
OMG, these butterflies scream artistic perfection, the “eagle” appliqué is to die for … no wonder you have to lie down ! xxxxx
Such a clever, lovely, well-balanced Collection..the quality of the workmanship is awe inspiring..j’adore.. xxx
I adore this collection – it is so different for them. I am in love with the wrap around eagle wings….

They’ve managed to take a craft I love and lift it to haute couture levels.. x
Love this collection. The second coat makes me think of the one that Laura Lynn describes in her book on Sandra Lattimer. 🙂
Sh”s a clever girl that Laura Lynn..
Everyone’s said everything so….oh my…sigh!( to quote you) xx
🙂 Pure beauty. The butterfly and the owl dresses are my favorite 🙂
O*M*G. This is purely and simply perfect!
Amazing pieces. I love the seamless fusion with nature.
Stunning!!! I adore the green outfit with the had but everything is simply beautiful…I get your lust. Xx
Reblogged this on Miss Tiramisu and commented:
So beautifully cut!
Ahhh, the patchwork (blanket) short coat for me and the Butterfly Motif Coat! Everyone else is lovely, but those are the two I desire. XO
These pieces are amazingly beautiful. Great post!
Coats made of blankets?!!? Oh, oh–I’m in trouble. Actually some of them are reminiscent of much more staid and traditional blanket coats made by the American company Pendleton (which, being stai and traditional myself, I love!)
Gorgeous!
This cleverly talented duo has excelled far beyond imagination…
a stunning lineup that feels like a walk through an art gallery…
to choose a favourite would be too difficult a task….
each piece is a masterpiece all of its own~ xo
Beautiful…love it 🙂
Stunning
You think its good, and then it gets better! The last dress…beyond. Perfection.
Exactly! That is what I thought about it. So pure, you doubt it can exist.
HAhaha We all know that feeling when our heart speaks louder…
Love the post!!
Oh I super super love that blazer style cape!
Oh I agree wholeheartedly! They are creating something that is almost more Valentino than Signor Valentino himself! He must be tickled pink with how they are developing his legacy. It’s jet-set and urbane and hippy and soigné–how many chances do we get to use that word?! Gorgeous, truly! xo
Love this!
Divine, all of it! Isn’t it the best when a collection just gets inside your head and seems to speak directly to you?
Loving this collection! This is art and fashion at its finest
Oh, I agree – absolutely gorgeous –
