Check out the Giambattista Valli spring 2013 couture collection and get ready to be captivated by a stunning range of whimsical and utterly romantic pieces!
“What is the meaning of couture?” This seems to be the question
Giambattista
Valli had posed himself while making the absolutely
whimsical designs spotted in his couture collection. “I wanted to
separate my more industrially designed ready-to-wear from my
couture,” the designer said, adding that, “It’s the kind of fantasy
couture I dreamed of making when I was a student.”
So, have you gorgeous dolls already seen the new Giambattista Valli
spring 2013 couture collection? Ah, just have a look and get ready
to enter into the beautiful world of all-things-chic and lovely.
From daytime-appropriate goodies to uber-adorable and romantic
evening gowns, the line addresses mostly to 28 to 38-year-olds. “I
wanted the models to look real, like my younger clients with their
hair down, fresh and cool, just how they would wear it,” Valli
explained.
Besides the monochrome pieces and the black and white animal
prints, Valli's couture line also features ethereal powder pink,
lilac and sunflower yellow, and some achingly adorable embroideries
and embellishments such as flowers and feathers. Oh, but those
silhouettes! Aren't they absolutely fairytale-like? “I am very
interested in playing with structure and construction, not just
with decoration,” Giambattista Valli said in an interview with V
Magazine.
Brocades, silk, tulle, heavy silks, crystals, flowers... Could
this be dreamier than this? Sexy yet romantic, these beauties are
so princess-worthy! Even though black and white are a big part of
the collection, the prints and the textures make the colors stand
out.
No doubt whatsoever that some of Valli's couture creations will
soon be seen worn by a wide range of celebrities. Jessica Biel
maybe? Well, the actress wore a pale pink custom-made Giambattista
Valli couture gown to marry Justin Timberlake.
"We have been friends for a long time and have followed and
supported each other's work through all these years," said Valli.
"She has always been a fabulous interpreter of my creations and I
was very pleased when she came to me to help her for her nuptials
to Justin."
Giambattista Valli's designs are the result of a long working
process but also the materialization of passion. “...I just love to
live and work right now. To live too much in the future is the same
as living too much in the past,” the designer told Vogue
US.
