the style & refinement of bianca jagger’s early 80s wardrobe is the source of inspiration for the romantic & feminine valentino pre-fall 2012. ensembles for day focus on miniature, flared coats, small suits, high-waisted, ankle-length pants & jumpsuits that bare the shoulders. cocktail hour sees tone-on-tone details, precious fabrics (lace, brocade, velvet, taffeta), little dresses w/unexpected volumes on the sleeves & hips. likewise, evening ensembles follow the same philosophy, but lengthen hemlines & choose the beloved colours of the fashion house.
