Valentino

That's a whole lotta ruffles! The clothes were contemporary and definitely had an edge this time. The ruffles were a bit over used but were a nice theme, there was also a section using scatters of lace. The designers did not ignore Valentino's signature red in the last gown of the collection blending their theme of ruffles and the designers signature color beautifully.

Giancario Giammett, the house's co-founder, was smiling and happy watching the show, quite the difference as he had publicly criticized their designer's last collection on Facebook. This show sure did give him reason to smile, it was so much more coherent than their last collection. The designers are starting to find their way they still have ways to go however to fill Valentino's shoes.
