Giambattista Valli brings unabashed romanticism to haute couture
Featuring Marina Ruy Barbosa, Giambattista Valli presents haute couture collection in Paris
Giambattista Valli does not follow the line of those who think they need to revolutionize every season, especially in haute couture. The Italian has a huge clientele conquered by exaggerated and romantic dresses, with a lot of little boldness here and there — like jumpsuits in shiny nets that make a direct contrast to the great hips and huge bows, strolling through all the charts of sugary colors like macarons. Some references to non-European cultures appear, without falling into cultural appropriation, with a strong eye on the clientele that Valli maintains in regions outside the borders of Paris — while animated feathers and strips of fabric give texture and movement to her world. The bride? She's Brazilian: Marina Ruy Barbosa embodied the character that traditionally closes Couture shows, covered in white flowers.
