Valentino's Couture Gowns Are A Fashion Fantasy
Yesterday, on the last day of Paris Couture Week, Valentino staged a runway show reminding us all the power of dreamy, breathtaking couture gowns fit for a fashion fantasy.
Featuring an astounding 63 looks, the collection designed by creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli was enough to garner a standing ovation and bring Mr. Valentino himself, who sat front row, to tears. From sweeping gowns in bold colors to ornate floral headpieces and embroidered detailing, each look was more stunning than the last. But it was Kaia Gerber's larger-than-life hair paired with a pink feathered ballgown that really stole the show.
The 16-year-old model (and daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford) dropped jaws as she hit the runway rocking the most major hair by legendary hairstylist Guido Palau. The dramatic style, which was inspired by Diana Vreeland's 1960s Harper's BAZAAR shoots with Richard Avedon, made for the perfect top off to an already wonderfully dramatic collection.
Along with the oversized hair moment, the runway also featured several models wearing beautiful handmade flower headpieces with their couture gowns.
An intricate, cape-clad silk gown that opened the show reportedly took 1,120 hours to make on its own-illustrating the level of detailing and time Piccioli's latest collection for the fashion house took to make.
And that was only the beginning of a series of gowns serving as the ultimate form of fashion escapism. See more of the swoon-worthy couture gowns, guaranteed to take your breath away, below.
Closing the show was model Adut Akech Bior in a striking marigold gown complete with a matching floral headpiece. It was the perfect end to a truly dream-worthy collection.
