Valentino’s diffusion line has the great advantage of being designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri from the main house, which is not always the case. For the Red Valentino Spring 2016 ready-to-wear show, two of the most powerful designers in the industry offered a Marie Antoinette-inspired collection with a bohemian twist.
Founder: Valentino Garavani
Owner: Valentino S.p.A
Designers: Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli
Spring 2016 Inspiration: Marie Antoinette.
Star Pieces: A baby blue and white crochet mini-dress with full skirt; a toile de Jouy-inspired silk dress with panel bodice and lace trimming; and a seductive, flower-embroidered cream corset.
The Middle Eastern Sale: A charming point d’esprit tulle dress with a small bird embroidered on the skirt and light dresses with a look-at-me quality.
