How to combine an English garden with Studio 54? Reaction to Giambattista Valli fashion show

The Italian designer’s portfolio includes the second Fendi series codenamed Fendissime, Emanuel Ungaro, Iceberg and Moncler. First show under the banner of his own brand Giambattista Valli It took place in 2005, and exactly 6 years later the master of fashion was accepted into the narrow circles of Haute Couture – in 2011 the first Parisian fashion show was held. By the way, on yesterday’s show, Giambattista again confirmed her title, but not yet again, a talented colorist and master of puffy dresses, which is very fond of actresses and influencers – from Sarah Jessica Parker to Elena Perminova.

The fall 2022 fashion show was held under a holiday sign – decorations in the form of balls with octopus and dolphins are mandatory. The motto of the collection was “here and now”: “I think the most important lesson in the last few years is to really enjoy and live in the moment,” admitted the designer, who released 59 models behind the scenes of the fashion show. on the podium. The mood board for the show featured photographs of people gathering in front of Studio 54 in the 1970s and roses blooming in an English garden. The atmosphere of two seemingly completely incomparable quantities was embodied by Valli with a bang – the collection is filled with an air of bliss and lightness with a pinch of New York simplicity.

The pearl of the images is the color scheme, whether it is a combination of silver and pink or a combination of gold and turquoise – it is not in vain that the designer is called a colorist. Strict adherents of monochrome should not pass by: the show begins with white dresses with bows, crystals and sequins on the shoulders and chest. Not without frills and ostrich feathers.

It can be said that the designer decided at once to trump the best, but the combination of two antipodes – the playfulness of the American Studio 54 and the elegant restraint of the English garden – is no easy task. The accessories deserve a special mention – giant butterfly glasses and candlestick earrings. Surprisingly, the latter do not fade against the background of richly decorated dresses – on the contrary, they perfectly complement the picture. Well, the image of a white minimalist dress in alliance with the pink feathers of the birds of paradise is a delight.
