Favourite Collection Ever

[christian zh]

Relatively early in my obsession with fashion, I was presented with a verging-on-sinister collection shown in Paris for winter 2008. I had discovered Giambattista Valli previously and was intrigued by his seeming originality compared to the other houses showing at fashion week. I remember being nauseous with childish excitement waiting for to come home from college and see his new collection; I definately was not disappointed.
Through this collection I discovered experimentation with volume, cut and shape and found couture in ready to wear, I discovered Cristobal Balenciaga through this collection (remember, early in my fashion obsession), one of Valli's key influences, and I found his use of cut and simplicity to create originality, instead of embellishment - so many of these features influence me to this day.

OMG! OMG! I'm totally agree with you!
This is my favorite collection EVER, EVER, EVER too!
