The Valentino Haute Couture designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli were inspired by a walk through a garden. “For us, the garden is magical. It is beautiful and delicate but also gives you a strong sense of wonder,” Chiuri says. Piccioli adds, “We like the combination of strength and fragility. Modern women are strong and confdent but there is also the search for delicacy that is linked to the concept of grace, which is an aspect we like in women.” One of the most memorable ensembles was a red latticework cape that resembled a gate that could open to a woman’s wildest fashion fantasies.
