Oh wow, another stunning collection from Valli, what can i say; i'm such a sucker for poof dresses and i love the details on the print dress, also it seems he is doing more full lenght dresses with each collection which is fantastic imo.

But i have to say the shoes look amazing although a tad to much like Balenciaga f/w, almost the same sole.

I am head over heels from these designs. I see a combination of Valentino and McQueen, and some other influences. Overall, it's really GORGEOUS.

I quite like some of this but those big gowns look REALLY unflattering.
Where you heard it from?

Oh well, Valli always come out with things that are unflattering, but I do think it affects how gorgeous they still is.

I agree. Nice but unoriginal. I associate Valli with more of a sexy twist.. Not full-blown gowns.

This is so overdone, too big, too puffy, too fussy. He used to be able to inject some sense of today in his couture-y shapes....seems he lost that somewhere along the line and decided to take the Zac Posen route of making women look like parade floats.

Am the only one who is not amazed? It's so Giambattista Valli, that I'm really becoming bored with it.
