Extravaganza Of Volumes: Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Spring 2021
For example, Italian designer Giambattista Valli presented a lookbook for his new collection, Giambattista Valli Haute Couture 20, as part of the Paris Haute Couture Week.
In 2020, the designer preferred the format of the exhibition at the Jeu de Paume National Gallery in Paris to the classic show, in this, according to the norms dictated by turbulent times, he revived the collection for the viewer in a 13-minute film.
In it, Giambattista Valli invites you to travel to the south of Spain and enjoy new couture dresses to the sounds of flamenco, surrounded by the beautiful architecture of Seville, the capital of Andalusia.
While every silhouette in ready-to-wear collections is like a chapter of the same book, in Haute Couture every dress is a new story, in which the designer plays the role of a real sculptor creating his next masterpiece.
The couturier takes us by the hand and leads us on an intimate journey of the mind through a powerful combination of two cultures and stories, the combination of which creates fertile ground for social progress and cultural enrichment. Spanish and Islamic cultures find a balance in complex layers of volumes and silhouettes, creating something new.
The volumes of luxurious airy cocktail and evening dresses are emphasized by the layering of light textiles, a cascade of taffeta frills and wonderful shapes created by stretching the tulle fabric. High hairstyles, perfectly slicked back and adorned with silk ornate bows, refer to the 60s.
A ballet dancer joins the models, parading in their lush outfits. He embodies the idea of the messenger of Olympus, who seeks to reveal the memories, feelings and facets of the soul of a creature named Valli.
Watching this mesmerizing extravaganza, one would like to receive an invitation to the ball and come to it arm in arm with a gentleman in one of these incredible outfits from Giambattista Valli.
