Spleen De Couture: July 2020

These times have been really strange, odd, scary, and without any perspective. Even the constantly exuberant and vivid world of fashion has silence and stopped. The whole world is affected by the Covid-19 and fashion is not an exception. But fashion wouldn't be fashion if it wasn't going on. When everything is kept on wait or reset button, fashion goes on providing us with the beauty, with the hope that better days are coming. So in the "normal world", the Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris would go on. But the times where a social distancing is a must, seemed that there would be nothing from either fashion or Couture. But then the Council of Fashion has decided that from 6th-8th July there would be a Couture Fashion Week.

Many designers have decided to provide it in the form of editorial or video, or live stream. One of the most beautiful ones was the one by Giambattista Valli. In this collection which all of the gowns we're worn by Joan Smalls, Giambattista Valli didn't

want to experiment much. But this is meant in a good way. He inhaled in this collection what he is known for, an opulent design with the tons of ruffles, gentle colors with the few vibrant and joyful heterogenic interventions like fire red or simply deep black.

The silhouette was simply Valli with the sugar-cotton alike premise, cascades, and long chiffon tulles and capes. If you could pick only one collection to stimulate your fashion hunger then this is definitely the one. Simply beautiful, in the most real Couture mannerism floating and transcending us to a totally new world or dimension, whatever you want to call it! And in these dark times, we are thankful for any ray of sun and hope and this collection is definitely the one who gives us that gorgeous escapism!

What do you think about this collection? Which dress do you like the most?

Thank you for your attention!
