What is in store for Spring from Valentino's perspective? "We wanted to tell a new fairy tale," said Paolo Piccioli, who presented the collection along side Maria Grazia Chiuri. The collection was designed for a NEW generation in mind. Graceful soft pastels, and tones of nude, rose, lavender, gold, and gray appeared in soft flowing fabrics which has now become the new big color of the season. Swirling organza, transparent fabrics, embroidering, and antique laces will be seen this spring and summer. Ruffles, feathers and organza make a statement that is big, ornate and full of detail in Valentino's collection. The most lavish unexpected surprise of his collection were details of the lace wings that arched up the leg from the soft metallic heels decked out in feathers and lace. This collection brings back the elegance of romance, with a touch of baroque extravagance.
