This runway season vintage looks, more specifically the forties, have been a big theme, and Valentino’s fall ready-to-wear collection continues the trend. This collection was a favorite of mine, because the styles are so sophisticated; I’m instantly reminded of old Hollywood glam. First up in the collection was day-wear, which featured shifts with puff sleeves made of fur, and wool coats with beaded hems. My favorite piece, shown above, featured a leopard print fur cardigan and a fur bubble skirt. Although the outfit isn’t practical by any means, it is instantly fabulous (hopefully the fur’s faux).
While the day-wear was feminine and sophisticated, it was the evening-wear that was truly glamorous. Valentino is one of the few designers that still show 70 outfits on the runway, so there were many beautiful gowns to look at. My favorite piece (bottom row, far right) was a cream gown, knotted in the center with bead-work featured in the dress’ cut outs.

Surprisingly, I wasn’t that impressed with many of the other collections either. Especially the collection from the big designers. Maybe one day I’ll be able to attend the shows in person, lol.
I LOVE your blog! Great post on Valentino, I loved this RTW fall collection too. The majority of the other collections just didn’t do it for me.
