Giambattista Valli Fall Couture 2011

among the six couture shows that have happened this week (alexis mabille, anne valerie hash, armani prive, bouchra jarrar, christian dior, and giambattista valli), i liked valli's collection the most. this was valli's first couture show and he did a fine job of accomplishing intricacy and drama that a couture show requires. with fringed feathers, furs, sequins, ruffles, and vivid colors there were plenty of 'fun' element but also an elegant formality apparent in the designs.
