Seems like lately the Haute Couture is having a bit of a moment, a renaissance if I can be precise. If we take a glimpse into this year's Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris, we can see that the collections we're much more heterogeneous in the visual sense, from the structures, silhouettes, colors. Before that Couture was in the "shackles" of a casual trend that was all over the fashion scene from the runway to your social media timeline.
And then came Pierpaolo Piccioli as the creative director of the house Valentino! At first, you could resemble that he knows how the Couture spirit is needed to be built. He started to bring the volume on the sleek and simplified silhouettes echoing the old but good and classic Couture spirits. Then he added to all of that a dash of the coloristic versatile options. Color and volume that he mastered amazingly have formed the start of re-newed 'belle epoque' of Couture.
Well, that kind of vibes were all over this season's Paris Fashion Week. And if you thought that Piccioli will deliver you the same art-code, well, you were wrong. In the Spring/Summer 2020 collection he went quite opposite and had created the totally oxymoronic collection from everything we have seen from him in the house of Valentino!
The silhouette this time was simplified, interrupted by the combination mixed with the mostly trousers and glamorous top. The dresses were on the same trace of this duality: the low-cut hearted corsets paired with the pencil formatted skirts. This screams of freshness, simply beautiful Couture that is somehow different yet so Valentino!
This collection has set again, the new standards in Haute Couture. And whilst some designers will try to copy that, Pierpaolo Piccioli will have a new inspiration ace up his sleeve! And that is why we can for sure say, Valentino runs Couture, no doubt that!
What do you think about this collection?Do you find this Valentino sets the standards for Couture in general?
Thank you for your mention!
