Romance is well and truly in the air at Valentino this season. Inspired by Shakespeare and Dante as well as the work of Russian painter Marc Chagall, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli dreamt up an extravagant declaration of love this season.
Chagall’s Russian heritage served as inspiration for the embroidery and embellishment on long pinafore and smock dresses in sumptuous velvet. The last few looks were the highlight for me, couture proper with quotes from Dante’s Inferno strewn among the flowers.
