Red Valentino S/S 2014 New York

Is this a lower-end line of Valentino?

The clothes is meh but the backgrounds in these photographs are so cute :crush:
 
Twee but in a good way, I assume that the hemlines will be lower once these hit the stores.

Are Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli the designers? This looks like the less lacier and less depressing version of their earlier (and much reviled) work for Valentino.

This is so obnoxiously sugary sweet. I can't take it seriously.

Before the collection's unveiling in New York, Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri weighed in on this season's story over e-mail from Italy. Inspired by "a sense of wonder and curiosity," the designers went whimsical, calling on ballerinas, butterflies, and blooms to set the fanciful tone. Soft cotton leotards and leggings paired with frothy point d'esprit tutu skirts were a nod to the innocent girl the design duo is courting this season, albeit one with enough moxie to hold her own in signature Valentino bows, embroideries, and full-on flower prints. A peplum bustier in hemp lent a grounded, earthy feel to a meringue of a skirt, and a crisp black and white gingham looked refreshingly clean against a sensual floral motif. Decidedly playful, this outing certainly skewed young, but a closer look revealed beautiful, grown-up touches—like a subtle thistle print woven into a knit top and embroidered leather flowers on the collar of a monochrome coat—that are sure to appeal to those in full bloom.

I loved some of Red Valentino's past collections but I'm not sure I like the direction it's taken. I admit to loving the preppiness, but I think this is almost too child-like. Maybe it's the styling?
 
I know this is supposed to be the younger line, but those first couple looks are downright infantile
