The companion booklet indicated: \u201cHaute couture expresses a sacred notion made to be perceived as something that goes beyond reality.\u201d Pierpaolo Piccioli, the brand\u2019s creative director, thus introduced a FallWinter 2018 couture collection with a sometimes ascetic elegance that\u2019s tinged with Valentino\u2019s incredible craftsmanship when it comes to working with embroidered dresses. In Paris, the brand took off on a quest for sacred: the monastic silhouettes that have characterized the Valentino woman for several seasons are now retracing the Imperial silhouettes of beauties of yesteryear. But make no mistake, Pierpaolo Piccioli is offering resolutely modern dresses that are highly symbolic with a burning desirability.<\/p>\n
Valentino\u2019s creative director expressed a sort of creative serenity through this vestal wardrobe. In addition, a series of clutches made in collaboration with Kola artist Harumi Klossowski each represent one of the seven deadly sins through a distinct animal.

This monastical sweetness is given touches of color, Pierpaolo\u2019s signature. Emerald, earthen tones, and cyan blue – these touches anchor the piece in Valentino\u2019s timelessness.<\/p>\n
