>> On a rare and spare afternoon during New York Fashion Week back in February I popped over to sheeny shiny Valentino HQ to film/check-out/coo over the Valentino S/S 11 collection for Elle x Valentino's EZine featuring Leandra of The Man Repeller and Catherine of Red Carpet Fashion Awards. There's a bit of e-shop link-up clicking, some video action where the three of us are doing some awkward on-camera laughter/talking that in the end didn't need to be feigned because it IS actually fun to hang out in showrooms dawdling about in amidst fashion week.
Unabashedly feminine is what I said of the S/S 11 collection which is still the very case but what I didn't realise until I saw the clothes were the fabrication details that gives another dimension to what could just be another simperingly girlish/ruffled dress, which I suppose is the balancing act that duo Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli have been trying to master since they took over the reins at Valentino.
The dress here that was wearing in the video, in a white 'lace', is a coated organza with a lace print paired with real lace underneath...
All the better for close-up fabric shots...
The polka dot and ditzy daisy appliques were actually made out of leather and a lot of the dresses were trimmed in leather, slightly twisting a flounced 3/4 length sleeved dress with a dainty ribbon around the waist...
Of course accessories have been the duo's strong point for quite a few seasons now, and lately they seem to know when to say STOP with studs, limiting the studcount to five of them on a handy handle...
More scanty stud activity here on this iPhone/card carrier that prompts me to once again downsize handbag activity further down to phone and debit card and not much else... (can offload the keys and lipbalm to Steve...)
