“Fashion is not ‘art’, because the latter is sufficient in itself while the former always has a purpose, a function, a use.”
Set at the Gaggiandre of Venice, Pierpaolo Piccioli blessed us with Drama, Glamour and emotion. The sheer sight of vivid colorful gowns walking through sun-hazed Venice was something out of a painting. PPP understands what people expect out of Haute Couture, He serves us a fantasy most of us can only experience via endless Instagram scrolling sessions. PPP tapped into his strengths and gave us a strong Couture season finale. There wasn’t much to dislike considering it was the epitome of conventional Haute Couture.
“Painting is to art as haute couture is to fashion, being both languages eternal and material,” read the show notes. The collection was made in collaboration with 17 painters ; Joel S. Allen, Anastasia Bay, Benni Bosetto, Katrin Bremermann, Guglielmo Castelli, Maurizio Cilli, Danilo Correale, Luca Coser, Jamie Nares, Francis Offman, Andrea Respino, Wu Rui, Sofia Silva, Alessandro Teoldi, Patricia Treib, Malte Zenses.
The tailoring undoubtedly was magnificent and was highlighted in the Couture daywear looks. Tiny cocktail dresses, crinoline ball gowns, elegant coats, and romantic dresses were some constant silhouettes created with dreamy fabrics and amorous colors. Floating Jellyfish like ostrich feather hats by Philip Treacy were a fantastic highlight. Among stunning ballgowns and dramatic capes and it was the remarkable simplicity of the Menswear that truly shone. The genius layering of brilliant colors resulted in ultra-sophisticated looks. The craftmanship in this show was truly astonishing; The closing look was created with motifs drawn from Jamie Nares’s It’s Raining in Naples, 2003 and Blues in Red, 2004 was created with 700 hours of work, 107 meters of fabric and custom hand-printing screens.
While a lot of elements were elevated from his previous collection there was a certain freshness and a sense of exploration reflecting his Valentino journey. In the end, Beauty is Valentino.
