#6 Video Fashion Show

Valentino is by far my favorite designer. It is so feminine and unique, where each piece is on trend yet a classic. My 1st Valentino purchase were these black suede boots that I adore.

Each season I wait for the Valentino Runway Show and the Spring 2012 collection did not let me down. Viewing the pictures, what stuck out was the thinly draped laser-cut leather in such beautiful designs and flat sandals. Model after model in flats! Whether it was a day look or the gorgeous silver see-through gown. I can go on and on forever about the collection and how much I love it.


Video of a runway show is probably the closest you can get to the experience of actually sitting in the audience. To some degree, you get a closer and clearer view than those in the front row. Of course it differs from the photos in that we can see the movement, here the music and the backdrop of the runway and get a better sense of the overall collection.

In this video, you have the added bonus of the actual designers', Pier Paolo & Maria Grazia Chiuri,comments and point of view on garments and the overall collection. With this collection in particular, I like how you can see how the leather flows as opposed to the stiffness that is usual, how the gowns move with a walk in flats, and the designers' pointing out the embroidered details and how they feel about color etc.
