Valentino Haute Couture F/W 13.14 Paris

i don't really get it... i feel like there are 5 amazing looks, especially the bright yellow but that tweed (i think that's the fabric) is just hideous. some of this is so matronly.

I am over all quite impressed, although some are not to my taste, I enjoy the versatility (and the Game of thrones undertones laced throughout?!) Also the trace back to paganism is quite spectacular, there are some blips, but I think they almost nailed it. I wish they would switch up the beauty aspect though

So choppy it hurts

It looks like Dolce & Gabbana. That's not a compliment.

totally agree they're Dolce & Gabbana in maxi dress version.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

Well!

There is some sophisticated daywear and some darkly romantic pieces here.

All-in-all this a strong collection methinks.

Less mawkish than Valentino can often be, which is good in my books!

Oh, wow! ch-ch-ch-chaaaaanges...

there's really some extraordinary pieces here.

Yeah it's a bit Dolce&Gabbana-ish this time. But i'm glad they give us some changes and the collection didn't turn hideous. They always make amazing, beautiful dresses, i can imagine some old lady smoking a cigar and sipping her glass of wine buying her whole family till her 7th descendants those Valentino collections. Their usual customer will easily say "amen" to this collection.

It looks like Dolce & Gabbana. That's not a compliment.

that was my first thought too:not a great collection but I've not been a fan of Valentino after Valentino tbh.

This could pass for Dolce & Gabbana.

I'm in love with the last look. There are some looks that I really like and some that left me perplexed.

That opening gown with the rhino and other animals on it was truly bizarre. However, a lot of the other pieces were exquisite in the detailing.

While I really like the collection, the general feel reminded me a lot of D&G...

That opening gown with the rhino and other animals on it was truly bizarre.

Sad as it may have to do with the Western Black Rhino being extinct just a few years ago.
