Valentino Paris Womenswear Summer/Spring 2013 collection

   


This year’s s/s Valentino collection has a religious grab; its mid-skirts and collared shirts are modest yet feminine. The colour palette is full of nudes, whites, blacks and a dab of the brand’s signature red.







   Valentino’s romantic approach to the way woman should dress is classy and elegant. The dresses are all below the knee or ankle length and the shirt dresses are sweet but modest with it’s buttoned-up to the top collars. 

  From the simplicity of a romantic slip dress to the edge of a see-through plastic belted coat, or one made of strips of python, there was enough diversity in these garments to keep us interested.Transparent Mary Janes with Plexiglas wedge heels gave the clothes an extra air of modernity and lightness, and a colour palette mostly comprised of blush, ivory, and beige added to the delicacy.

  The designers credited their hometown, Rome, as their inspiration, citing the city’s spirit of change, and its desire for reinvention.
