GIAMBATTISTA VALLI Fall/Winter 2012-13, Paris


GIAMBATTISTA VALLI - Fashion show -His collection looks so often fall into the couture category and he’s not adverse to using a frill or frou frou elements to bring to life his visions. This time round, his vision came in some golden crocodile – which made for a long coat half way through the collection – and fur, which anchored skirts as thick pleats on waisted dresses with sheer and panelled bodices above them. There were some relaxed casual vest and cropped trouser combinations, and there was a plaid, smart head-to-toe look of trousers, top and coat.


When it wasn’t grey or black, it was red – which started in a day dress with a wisp of chiffon laced through its belted waist and ended in a floor-length gown in black, red and purple squares with a pussy bow at its neck, a detail that featured on all of the last long dress looks.
