Are you ready for a resurgence of celestial Victorian Romanticism with a 70s spirit? Valentinos pre-fall 2015 collection depicts a landscape of mystical sunsets and galaxies making its audience beg for more. The starlet looking to shine will find otherworldly navy blue dresses, skirts, coats and boots, all embroidered with stars, constellations and planets, leaving a cosmic, romantic and utterly feminine feel.
A true tempest allures with floral prints that subtly hide the skin underneath the sheer lacy fabric. The result is the look of an irresistible kings mistress complete with a full floor touching gown; the monarch would surely follow the vixen wherever she may go. Heart shaped applique designs over a full hovering red dress indicate a hot affair is on its way. Sleeveless sweaters over a knee hiding navy skirt with feminine toe peeping heels would make any English prince blush.
Inspired by Botticellis La Primavera, the lengthy embroidered gowns and flowery printed skirts illuminate playtime in the Garden of Eden. While dark emerald garments and long leopard sleeves kiss summer good-bye, they delicately welcome fall with androgynous collars, chic leather jackets, preppy girl loafers and frilly v-line skirts.
Shiny maroon trenchcoats complete the look of fall with horizontally striped earth tone boots. A basic black frilly dress trickles with low line apple green print, bringing the gaze to the preppy school girl shoes. Laced-up heels and Mary Jane shoes are a balance under very short skirts matched with minaudiere evening handbags. Valentino & Associates, thank you for this otherworldly collection.
