I think I have a genetic disorder that reacts to Valentino..every time I see the work of Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri my heart starts pounding and I start reaching for my credit card..and mortgage statements..
Their Valentino couture show was exquisite, drawing on references from across the board: Byzantine, monastical, peasant, ecclesiastical and more, then tying them all up together with a beautiful cohesive ribbon.
This shirt for the summer with a pair of faded shorts..
The achingly wonderful workmanship: It’s not avante garde, pushing the boundaries of wearability. It’s time and craftsmanship with a quiet, deep down confidence.

This Collection adds one more cog to their star-making machinery..

So beautiful.
Modern yet timeless..and true quality that’s rare to see these days xxx
Gorgeous. I’m going to a lovely summer, country wedding in July and I am thinking of something a bit like this. I love the red and white but not sure if that is a bit too bride like. Dolce and Gabbana have a fabulous floral dress, and one for wee girls that matches….all of which I could afford to buy in my dreams!
Oooh! red and cream..I love the idea. In these modern times, definitely OK for a wedding. Half of me wishes D&G was cheaper..the other half thinks then I could never dream.. xxx
Wow! This is so beautiful!

Beautiful is the word. And surprisingly rare to see.. xxx
A couple of years ago in the NY Post (yes, I know….subway reading) had a clip of needle point pieces (shoes, bags). I’ve had them in the back of my mind since that time and I’ve been on the look out for something….Now, Valentino brings the embroidery crashing back and my hunt has been replenished. I think I have to stick with vintage – it’s all my pocketbook can take. XO
I’ve always had a love for embroidery..right back to my childhood I can remember wearing those cotton tops from Greece with the red, blue and white embroidery.. xxx
Gorgeous!
Lots of juicy inspiration.. xxx
So beautiful – I’d love to hang one of these on my wall as much as I’d like to wear it! Jx
That coat would make a wonderful chair!! xxx
So beautiful.
Sigh.. xxx
So gorgeous! Much needed eye candy for a Friday morning! xx..Cortneybre…
In my dreams, I’m flat chested and wearing them all… xxx
Stunning!!! Wearable works of art! Each is truly a couture masterpiece!
And if these gowns were ever to appear in the shops at King’s Landing…
oh, there’d most definitely be a little saber rattling happening…
my guess—between Cersei Lannister and Margaery Tyrell 😉 ~xo
It has that magical, medieval feel to it…lucky Cersei and Margaery! xxx
Oh wow! They are sooooo beautiful! I want to make things like that!
Those ruffled necks.. xxx
Oh my gorgeous.
Isn’t it just stunning xxx
Ridiculously beautiful, the art in fashion at its best!
Not shouting, but singing.. xxx
Some of it looks like it’s influence by “Milk-maid chic” (well that’s what I’m going to call it now ^_^). Great post, thanks for sharing.
