After spending four weeks in an utter fashion frenzy, either rushing from country to country then from show to show or spending the month pouring over a multitude of images back home, it really does take something really special to re-energise, awaken and lift the spirits of the weary fash-pack... Valentino.
Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli presented the most exceptional ready to wear collection for Valentino at the end of Paris Fashion Week. I literally stopped in my tracks when I saw the images pop up on my iPhone whilst running to a meeting. Each of the 73 ethnic, opulent, folksy, medieval, exotic and regal looks were more majestic and striking than the last. The severely WOW-beautiful micro-minidresses (below) would be much appreciated in my wardrobe.
