An Italian designer Giambattista Valli debuted at Paris Fashion Week with his Haute Couture Collection of nice feminine clothes and shoes. Since it’s the designer’s first Haute Couture collection we can congratulate him on a successful show.
Giambattista Valli Haute Couture lineup includes both cocktail dresses with substantial décor and gorgeous evening attire. The couturier made black, white and red the main colors of the collection. There you can find ready-to-wear wedding dresses, black mantles à la a Sicilian widow, sexy feet-length leopard dresses and passion-colored evening dresses.
Let’s pay attention to footwear Giambattista Valli offers to finish the image of the new woman. The designer chooses a zero-risk variant in order not to outshine splendid fabric trimming and not to distract public attention from the graceful dresses.
Giambattista Valli created a neat lineup of pump shoes that in spite of their classic shape look cool here. Moreover, he embellished his shoes with magnificent décor elements that are similar to that used for dresses and jackets.
The top of the shoes is adorned with pearls, corals and tiny flowers. Another shoe design unveiled by Giambattista Valli at the fashion show was open sandals with thin satin straps.
