Valentino's co-creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and
Pierpaolo Piccioli derived inspiration from Britain's
Elizabethan era with high neck ruffles, ornate cloaks, masculine
jackets, billowing lace sleeves and slim trousers paired with
tunics.
The collection presented a contrast between femininity and
masculinity in one design, hailed by some of those who came to
the show.
"It was unbelievable. It was sexy, Medieval, modernism. I loved
it," said actress Mila Jokovich.
Other designer houses unveiling their haute couture collections
this week include Giorgio Armani Prive, Dior and Versace.
Dior is expected to announce that Valentino designer Grazia
Chiuri will be joining the brand, two people familiar with the
matter told Reuters last month. Neither party has officially
announced or confirmed the appointment.
