1. Paris Fashion Week: Valentino SS 2012
Runway Review
Valentino dresses were a favorite of ours to see during Paris fashion week. Known
for their feminine fashion designs and rooted in old Hollywood fashion history, Valentino
is one of those lines that is a favorite for every season. Valentino’s collections are
always a source of elegant fabrics and flowing lines, the coming SS 2012 is classic
Valentino style.
2. Valentino SS 2012: This innocent gown is floor length, long sleeve and sheer in
selected areas. The body of the dress including the whimsical billowy sleeves is
embroidered with black floral print and the tiny looped belt accent adds a fine elegant
touch to this piece. These are all light floral and spring-like features.
3. Valentino SS 2012: Check out the sheer black chiffon body with white floral print
cascading around the length of the strapless spring gown. One can slightly make out
the silhouette of the models body underneath the dress.
4. Valentino SS 2012: This is a more youthful gown for the spring collection. We especially
like the layers of embroidered trims and hemlines of this white mini dress. The sheer
and flirty neckline is also a nice touch.
5. Valentino SS 2012: This sleeveless gown has a pure cut to it. The full neck halter cut
neckline creates a cleaner look. This is very different from the rest of the lace and
chiffon gowns we saw on the runway in the SS 2012 collection.
6. Valentino SS 2012: A showstopper was this floor length halter dress with a cut out
designed dress layered over a cream chiffon slip. The side pockets of the dress give it
an attractive functional appeal.
7. Valentino SS 2012: Next is this baby blue straplessflowing babydoll dress with floral
print. We can definitely see fashionistas everywhere wearing this one during the spring.
8. Valentino SS 2012: This is an interesting two piece short set. The top is sheer with lace
covering the models private places (very risky). The shorts are all lace and cut extra
high on the leg.
9. Valentino SS 2012: One of the standout gowns was this scarlet red elegant ballroom
style dress. The top of the gown is layered lace flowing down into a full flowing bottom
with horizontal lines. The shiny red skinny braided belt is a nice finishing touch.
