Valentino Haute Couture fall/winter 2009

So happy with this Valetino collection, designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli , which happen to be the house's former accessories designers are definitely taking Valentino in a totally new direction. Their past Haute Couture collection debut was quite stiff, and seemed to be just another renaissance of the house's past, nothing very innovative about it.
But for this collection of fall Couture, we saw a much bolder youthfulness, which really was part of what the founder wanted to get into with Valentino .
With what Piccoli called, A story of shadows, the collection featured leggy dresses and miniskirts
which came with ruffles, lace, in shades of blacks. Nude was also heavily seen, and looked amazing when paired with a few black numbers.
The headpieces with extravagant organza e volume some models wore were amazing.
I really love the new grounds Valentino is headed towards.
Although I must admit, it is quite awkward seeing a Valentino collection without a single hint of red.
