Apparently, Mr. Valli has returned to his senses and is designing clothes and not costumes for the influencer Instagram set. It is this collection that tells me he still has his “chops” when it comes to truly designing beautiful clothes so let me say this.... if I could continue my wish list, I’d want him or Alexandre Vauthier to be designing Chanel or even Dior. You may think I’m insane but I believe that both men are far more talented and creative than what is installed there now as designers.
Not only do I believe them capable but I believe that either could perpetuate what these incredibly powerful brands have built while putting their own imprimatur on the brands. Valli has produced one of his most commercial collections and has said good bye to wedding cake tulle gowns that take up a room as well as clothes that are sort of more spectacle than anything else.
He is tailor, master of flou and experienced enough to be great and not just another designer on a list that Vogue has assembled and given lip service to ... and well that goes for both of these designers. The reason there is no Vauthier review is that I cannot find the defining words to adequately describe this season’s offering. I found it very out of character for him and yet so much was totally in character, but as a whole I couldn’t wrap my head around it but that doesn’t mean there were some spectacular pieces and some I just didn’t quite understand.
I think that fashion is in desperate need to utilizing the talent that is right in front in our eyes and not promoting and hyping talentless so-called designers because of ad pages and who owns them! Valli and Vauthier could easily be the sweeping change that fashion now hungers for and is in desperate need of.
