>> Giambattista Valli brings his particular breed of French-Italian chic to Macy's for Holiday 2011. Retailing from $50 to $150, the capsule will be sold nationwide in 225 Macy's stores — as well as online at Macys.com — starting Oct. 26 and features a bevy of super-festive Holiday separates: Shiny leopard-print shifts, voluminous ruffled party dresses, sequined tees, and wildly-patterned tux trousers. “This capsule reflects my enduring loves, but is really a celebration of my biggest inspiration of all — the energy and vitality of women themselves," Valli explains. "This collection is a passport into my world and a chance to experience the passion and romance of my house and Paris itself." Experience the collection — and peep images from the campaign — now, here in the slideshow.

Giambattista Valli: Spring 2012

For Spring '12, Giambattista Valli showcased a collection fit for parties and red carpet appearances. Fancy sheath dresses were the focal point in his collection, adorned with metallic embroidery and jeweled details. Texture also came into play via white fringe — made to look almost like fur, but without the weight — churned into chic bohemian vests and embellished on dresses. The same technique was utilized in splashy zebra prints and a colorful pink and red jacket. For accessories, Valli topped off his looks with stacked arm bracelets, lace-up pumps, and gorgeous chain embellished ankle-wrap sandals. More details below.

  • Trends: Sheath minidresses, fringe details.
  • Colors: White, lavender, brown, yellow, pink.
  • Key Look: The sheaths and jewels embellished dresses.
  • Accessories: Chain-wrap sandals, lace-up pumps, arm bracelets, cuffs.
  • Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave polished looks with a fun twist.

Love It or Leave It: Sarah Jessica Parker's Red Caped Look

Sarah Jessica Parker donned a red Giambattista Valli gown and cape for an appearance in Russia for the upcoming flick I Don't Know How She Does It.

Sarah Jessica Parker donned a red Giambattista Valli gown and cape for an appearance in Russia for the upcoming flick I Don't Know How She Does It. The impactful look was stunning when it strode down the runway at Paris Haute Couture Week, but in real life we feel the cape can become a distraction from the gown. We always trust SJP to give us some style moment worth talking about over the water cooler — what do you think of this one?

Confirmed: Giambattista Valli's Collection For Macy's Will Debut This Fall

After earlier speculation in June, it has now been confirmed that Giambattista Valli will design a collection for Macy's. The designer, who's known for his decadent gowns worn by celebs like Emma Stone and Selena Gomez, is the fourth designer to participate in the Impulse Only at Macy’s collaboration. He follows on the heels of Karl Lagerfeld, whose collection debuts in September. Just in time for the Holiday season, expect a much dressier collection from Valli when it bows on Oct. 26. Drawing inspiration from his signature namesake collection, Valli's creations for Macy's is set to feature a predominantly red and black palette of cocktail dresses, skirts, blouses, jackets, and pants made in lace, tweed, brocade, fake fur, and tulle. The best part? The whole collection is set to retail from $50 to $150. There are no pictures yet, but we'll be on the lookout. For a refresher in Giambattista Valli's designs, check out his Fall 2011 runway collection.

>> Straight after Karl Lagerfeld's Macy's line drops at the end of this month, Giambattista Valli — in his first foray into affordable fashion — is collaborating on a line for the retailer.

The limited-edition Giambattista Valli for Macy's collection includes cocktail dresses, skirts, blouses, light jackets, edgy pants, and graphic tees, all of which stick to a mainly red and black palette, with touches of gold, gray, and fuchsia.

The collection bows Oct. 26 both in 225 Macy's stores and on the retailer's website, and runs $50 to $150.

Already, Macy's has designers lined up for next Spring, according to Martine Reardon, EVP of marketing and advertising: “Look for us to be doing new things in the spring. We’re looking at other apparel categories. We’re also looking at shoes, handbags and jewelry. Anything is possible for the future.”

A First Look at Karl Lagerfeld for Macy's (Updated)

>> Almost seven years after his H&M collaboration, Karl Lagerfeld is back with another one-off mass collection, this time for Macy's.

>> Almost seven years after his H&M collaboration, Karl Lagerfeld is back with another one-off mass collection, this time for Macy's. The 45-piece collection, which hits 235 of the 800-plus Macy's stores and Macys.com on Aug. 31, promises to incorporate Lagerfeld's signature style — read: high-collared pieces, as well as edgier, rock'n'roll looks — and run $50 to $170.

The August 2011 issue of Vogue provides a first look at the collection: a $109 dress that Lagerfeld describes as "a coup d'oeil to the dresses I designed for Chloe and the girlish, more romantic mood of the seventies." As for why he decided to work with Macy's on the collection for the past year, Lagerfeld says: "These partnerships are a working holiday from my normal discipline, and I like to think differently."

After Lagerfeld, Macy's will reportedly feature Giambattista Valli in November, and then for Holiday 2011, Lagerfeld will be back along with three other designers for more Macy's exclusives.

Giambattista Valli Fall 2011 Couture

>> Giambattista Valli finally got the opportunity to show his own couture collection yesterday (when designing at Emanuel Ungaro from 2001 through 2004, he focused on ready-to-wear while Ungaro himself held the couture reins) as a guest member of the Paris couture calendar.

>> Giambattista Valli finally got the opportunity to show his own couture collection yesterday (when designing at Emanuel Ungaro from 2001 through 2004, he focused on ready-to-wear while Ungaro himself held the couture reins) as a guest member of the Paris couture calendar.

“The most beautiful thing about the couture is the devotion,” Valli noted after the show, which encompassed a whopping 45 looks focusing on the Valli DNA — bicolored dresses, volume and endless amounts of chiffon, pops of vivid color, and animal prints. The opening look was inspired by the blouse de cabine — the white tunic shirt of the atelier worker — which Valli intended to symbolize his couture as a “work in progress,” and his partner, jewelry designer Luigi Scialanga, was also involved, contributing metal belts that Valli wanted to "suggest the arms of the man around the waist of the girl — savage, wild, strong, against the fragility of the clothes.”
