SPRING/SUMMER 2011
GIAMBATTISTA VALLI
Mood/style:it may seem like an impossible feat, mixing the chic style of Fifties Roman Couture, the precision of Sixites' Courrèges and the 18th Century stuccos without giving off the slightest hint of retro nostalgia. But Giambattista Valli managed to do precisely that, adding his own vibrant spirit and modern energy, for a collection with a fresh, vibrant allure. New proportions and a exact mastery of embellishments and drapings, his cuts are decisive and his own means of expressing couture is more charming than ever
