Alessandro Michele - Designer, Creative Director of Valentino

I got my first look at Alex's Traveling Ragbin Circus in person at South Coast Plaza on Black Friday. With all the velvet and fringe and '70s nostalgia, I kept flashing back to Carol Burnett wearing the curtains.

Everything was bejeweled and gilt to high heaven and appeared to be made from old upholstery remnants. Looking at a men's green velveteen suit with a Nehru jacket, my friend dubbed it "Emerald City clothes." "I hate these Emerald City clothes. Who would wear this?" I could only muster my standard reply: "People with more money than taste."

Uff, that should construction is something else... Also: Why not get this exact same dress vintage? It's not like this is some kind of updated version an old design, it is literally a wore made reproduction.

Carol Burnett wearing the curtains is more Viktor & Rolf before Viktor & Rolf...a visionary!!
