Fall 2010 Valentino Maria Grazia Chiuri & Pierpaolo Piccioli Runway Look 37 Off Shoulder Ruffle Dress z-archive-emanuelungaro It is light in weight

It is light in weight and wonderfully easy to wear

As the velvet fabric catches the light the colors changes and the leafs take on really wonderful quality

The photos do not convey the fluidity of the mesh - holding a Whiting and Davis bag is an experience in itself

The colors are bright and vibrant and this is a beautiful blue and yellow version

I have added some pictures so you can see some McCardell pieces that are similar in structure (all are in museum collections)

It was made under the creative design of both Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli. Its twin was also worn by Fan Bingbing at Cannes that year. This is one of their earlier collections after stepping into Mr Valentino's shoes and I love that they stayed true to the label's heritage by using a classic Valentino combination of silk chiffon and ruffles for this
