Welcome to the nunnery of Valentino! Monastery looks, convent wear and all things ecclesiastical!

Sadly there is not much elegance present but what you do get
is impeccable workmanship, the most riche of fabrications and minimalism that
is a hair’s breath away from boring. Confections of lace that have been embroidered
until hell won’t have it and a lot of clothes that hide a multiple of sins for
bodies that are less than perfect.

Yes there is what appears to be a plethora of day clothes
but the question is where do you wear these day clothes that are so contrived
and rather less than as easy to wear as they appear. You might also ask
yourself if the “tariff” of 4 to 6 figures
and more is what you want t to spend on less than memorable clothes. Don’t get
me wrong, couture clothes do not have to scream look at me when you consider
that ladies of a certain station had their gardening clothes created by the
likes of Balenciaga but those women do not exist today. Haute couture is a way of life, a lifestyle
and most of all, the wearer is one who demands the absolute best that money can
buy or just wants to prove that they can afford it. My conundrum is who exactly
wears these clothes at these prices and why.

In the end it all seems rather ho hum if not yawn inducing ...
Where is the elegance, the slick, the chic.. where has it all gone?
