Valentino Spring 2011 Haute Couture – A Parade of Ethereal Goddess Fabulousness

The house of Valentino by Maria Grazia Chiuri & Pier Paolo Piccioli have wow us again with their spring 2011 Couture show. This time, they wanted to break away any pas restraints of what should or should not be a ladylike couture show and did it their way. “We just wanted to remove all heaviness, the idea is that the dress are so light, they almost become part of the woman herself” said by Piccioli & Chiuri.

The whole collection is so soft, delicate with hand pressed pleating on the ruffles, butterfly chokers around the neck, soft ribbon details… the whole collection is like watching ethereal Goddesses, magical fairies parade down the runway! I just love it how ladylike they looked but with tons of sensuality,too!
