“A lot of people in fashion right now are a little bit scared of beauty. There’s a lot of research into intellectual beauty, alternative beauty, a more edgy beauty, to break the rules. But I’m the opposite. I love the idea of something harmonious, sensual, romantic.”
Giambattista Valli
Giambattista Valli Spring 2018 Couture.
“THE SNOW CRYSTAL FOREST”
For this couture collection, designer Ziad Nakad proposes his romantic vision of a season in magic colors where white predominates. A white that appears as cold as snow and that gradually heats up when velvet, feathers, tulle and lace are interwoven through learned embroideries.
Numerous cut-outs on the back and shoulders draw the body to reveal a bewitching femininity. Navy, gray and red enriches the colors of this magical forest. And a bride like a queen of an exceptional night, dressed in white and gold that illuminates this universe fit to the legends of a thousand and one nights.
Versace’s update resulted in major, majorevening—a bravura performance of high-octane, super-sexy, and exquisitely and inventively worked looks, all bronze metallic scale embroideries, silver chains suspended in cobweb-like formations, and an embellishment that looked like crystal but which was actually beads faced with silver leaf.

Atelier Versace Fall 2017 Couture - see collection.
It was a representation of flowers, exquisitely interpreted through the finest tulle, embroidery and crystals. Giambattista Valli's spring 2016 haute couture collection delivered a fresh bouquet of youth in beautiful dresses, short and long. I do question Valli's casting, however. These models look sixteen and while they are absolutely amazing in these dresses, the couture client is sixteen about three times over. Of course, one can argue that Valli is setting up to pass the couture torch to the daughters of their clients. After all, haute couture is a lifestyle meant to transcend generations. Back to the dresses... the gowns at the end of the show were breathtaking. I predict some will work their way onto the red carpet this award season.
