Valentino design duo Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri were inspired by the geometric paintings of Australian artist Esther Stewart. The designers defined geometry as a "new form of decoration." The result? No less than perfection. Precisely tailored coats, shirts and trousers featuring bold diamond and triangular shapes in a range of greys and brightly-muted color. The decorative features also embraced embroidered elements like flowers and moths strategically placed on the shoulders and backs of garments. The coats with the tiny, repetitive patterns towards the end of the collection, with a mosaic quality, are absolutely to-die-for!
