Guys, screw Cinderella! Valentino put on their own live-action fairy tale this with week a Spring 2015 Haute Couture collection that felt like the fairy tale romance of my dreams. Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri brought their own Jane Austen meets Grimm Brothers saga to life through corsets, rich textures, stunning embroidery and of course that whole whimsical sense of magic we’ve come to expect from a Valentino collection.
MUCH to my relief, the peasant dresses that plagued Valentino collections for the past several seasons were replaced with that traditional silhouette you’d expect to find on Sleeping Beauty, or, you know, the heroine of an Austen novel.
