Since the spring collections, the distinctive look of the famous flower children from the late sixties and early seventies has been starting to get in the picture. This type of bohemian spirit surely captured the atten- tion of Valentino’s Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli for this year’s pre-fall collection. It influenced their whole collection as seen by their signature long-sleeved lace-trimmed dresses that were covered by four-leaf clovers and many mimosa flowers. It was paired with typical late-sixties ankle floral-print boots that matched the dresses. This sea- son, the artistic pair drew inspiration from Botticelli’s Primavera, and it is clearly seen that the outlook is never too far away from the Italian house.

With suede A-line skirts and cozy hooded cardigans patch worked with a floral pastoral bliss design, it is clear that the pair is giving off a sense of romanticism to the idea of traditional dressing. Even their classic denim jacket had butterflies incorporated into it, which was a recurring and endearing theme by Valentino. With over 80 looks in the collection, there is plenty of variety to accommodate fans at both ends of the spectrum and be spoiled with plenty of stunning clothes this season.
