How refreshing it is to see Valli understand and render that life is not back what it was a year ago and how women will look at dressing in a different way now, hence so much of the bells and whistles that he has taken too in the past few years are gone and what is left is a collection of pared down clothes that are easily understand able, pretty, easy to wear and pretty much ageless.
What flummoxed me is his referencing on Chanel in so many cases or maybe he is angling for Virginie’s pedestal and the fact is that Valli could so easily assume that position. He is a designer who designs, he is more than capable when it comes to embroideries and decoration which is you notice are at a minimum in this collection.
I’d call this Resort grouping well thought out, intelligently rendered and most appealing as it is extremely feminine. Lots of dresses and suitings but again I’m not sure why he took the Chanel route for the jackets but all in all this is a collection built for current times and not created as if the last year never happened.
I tip my hat
to “Giamba” for having the wherewithal and the brains to take such a stark turn
from what he has been doing of late.
