It is the first time Piccioli has designed the haute couture
collection on his own, after his former creative partner Maria
Grazia Chiuri became Dior's first female creative director.
Chiuri debuted her Dior haute couture line in Paris on Monday.
The simple and delicate Valentino collection by Piccioli
included a rose, ruffled chiffon dress with a deep neckline and
a mint long sleeve gown which gave an Olympian feel.
Dreamy column dresses in straight, classical forms evoked a
fairytale world with gentle, spring colors of ivory, pastel pink
and clay-green.
Billowing floor-length gowns embellished with flowers and
sequins transformed the models into goddesses as they strolled
along the catwalk to music composed by French film composer
Alexandre Desplat.
Valentino's show took place on the penultimate day of Paris
Haute Couture Week, with the curtains drawing on the event
today.
