RUNWAY REPORT.....Paris Haute Couture Spring 2018: Giambattista Valli Haute Couture

Garden Couture--Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2018

WHAT: Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2018. For Spring 2018, designer Giambattista Valli offered some of the most beautiful dresses and ensembles seen on the Paris Haute Couture runways, as Vogue.com described it: "When the world is going to hell in a handcart, there comes a moment while you’re sitting at an haute couture show that you just have to surrender...Right now, it’s a welcome moment of release from a reality that sadly—very sadly—doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon. Bring on the pretty dresses, please—like, now—to provide a nanosecond of distraction."



INSPIRATION: "The Wild Garden" book:

DETAILS: Jewel embellishment, delicate macrame, 3-D appliques...the final gowns were made of 350 meters of pleated tulle!
