Daenerys Targaryen would suit Valentino.

The Valentino show always makes me sigh, but this time it was especially beautiful. With luxurious materials and the most beautiful embroidery and designs it really makes me thankful that they haven't succumbed to the ugly IKEAesque like silhouettes of other fashion houses. I respect that they are still able to make beautiful clothes, WITHOUT those super dull and at the same still 'contemporary' silhouettes. Was it only me that was thinking of Daenerys Targaryen (GoT) when watching this show?

Beautiful, but as one genius commentator pointed out....
Bjork did it first.
“La morsure d’Eurydice”, tutu dress draped with blood red tulle embellished with a serpentmade of feathers.
“Cio-Cio San”, cape with multi-colored butterflies made of feathers.
Cadmium-colored silk dress.
“Le monde de la lune”, tutu dress draped with dark tulle, embellished with black feathers.

“Aida”, natural tussah silk dress, with fringing and printed with a lion and giraffe.
I really love the combination here of print and elegance, the unconventional combination makes me want it so much!
“Sémiramide en Babylone”, résille dress of gold threads, embellished with threads
and smoky gemstones.

Valentino, SS Couture is Fairy Tale Beautiful





Looks a bit like a bird cage, which is a theme of the collection.
In some this is the classic 'Princess dress', that you would doodle wishfully.

The intricate lace talks of princesses     it apart from the others featured.
 and prince charming not the ones         This is more the dress of a
 you read about in Heat magazine          temptress, not a damsel in distress

The perfect Villainess dress. If I was      cape
 working some evil schemes I would
 have to do it in this dress. In a
continuation of the 'bird cage'
theme, the birds here are free and wild,
suggesting a wilder, darker purpose.
