Giambattista Valli is one Italian designer who delivered a sharp, romantic Fall 2007 collection. Sharp romance? Check it out...
While black tends to get monotonous on the runways for me, Valli's black was different. Using rich fabrics and smart contouring, this black made me wish I was an agent of chic espionage. The rest of the collection was just as wonderful with a solid color palette of grey, red, yellow and cream, and abstract prints thrown in for good measure. Super smart ruffling and bows personified the sharp romance I'm speaking of; these aren't your pretty proper ruffles and bows, these are modern, strong feminine touches. Experimental proportions occurred, but it felt right here with the bold colors and luxurious materials. The hot platforms and colored jewel adornments added glorious theatrics. Bravo!

love it.
1One of my favorites. Very chic.
Although, something about the way they were photographed makes the models look very short.
2I like the way the blacks and bright colors were put together - interesting!
3Never seen anything quite like this.
