"Valentino"
For years I have been following the careers of Christian Lacroix, Chanel, Givenchy, Hermes, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney and countless others whom have truly inspired me. However one brand stands out amongst the rest, the undeniably incredible Valentino. Valentino embraces fashion as wearable art, the way it should be.
Valentino stands for grace, femininity, elegance, and sophistication, all of which are becoming rare in a new era of visual overload. The brand incorporates bows, ruffles, and polka dots as symbols of playful lightness. Valentino's cocktail dresses are made to perfection as they flatter the female form in every which way possible. The brand's latest collection has been able to mix patterns, bold colors, and larger than life accessories to match the evolving trends of the classy woman.
Without designers such as Valentino students such as myself would be left with little to no imagination. Not only does the brand combine imagination with meticulous detailing and magnificent embroidery, it is wearable. Unlike other designers who simply design art not necessarily made for the public, Valentino designs everyday pieces for every occassion.
