"Reduced to a simple sensation"

Pier Paolo Picciolo and Maria Grazia Currie seem to live in their own creative garden - sunny and full collective imagination. It comes within the collection, conciseness and expressiveness which discouraged; it sunlight penetrates the thin flowers clinging web of creeping vines; it all nice and everything is in development. Valentino Haute Couture Spring 2013 brought the Paris Fashion Week charm, which reigned supreme classicism, though, and "reduced to a simple sensation."







In 1968, Valentino Garavani, presented his legendary, the shocking "White collection". Today we like back in the 68th Year on the background of the experiments with form and prints, references to Futurism and psychedelic, virginal purity Valentino Haute Couture Spring 2013 deprives words. Simple and concise design was due to craftsmanship: every outfit spent an average of 600 hours. To embroider jacket and skirt of organza took 850 hours of work on the new equipment. The inspiration for this work served as a garden where you can see the elegance and delicacy, but never feel the smell of sweat gardener. Picciolo:

Couture should be magical.



As a result, the magic wins the hand coloring processes organza and capes transformation in forged lattice. Fine drama dress organza embroidered with crystals and beads of topaz, summed up his name: «Le silence de tournesols». Quiet sunflowers. This intrigued not less than Picciolo statement that the essence of the collection is contained in the labyrinth, where nature comes into contact with the architecture, and science meets spiritual rebirth. Magic? Perhaps.



All works in the collection of the shape and silhouette: embroidery, openwork, opacity and transparency, architectural, beads and lace. Purity of thoughts and feelings refines restraint. In all through the thin veil of gentility. There is no place vulgarity: valentinovsky red and bold black devoid of aggression, here there is only the architectural expression, wonderful reception "white on white" born repenting cleanliness, art and true perfection. How else to assess the magic? Welcome to the story.
