Nick Verreos: RUNWAY REPORT.....Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week: Giambattista Valli Spring 2017

Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2017

WHAT: Giambattista Valli Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2017. The Ballgown is BACK! (well, it never really left Giambattista Valli but...). The theme of the collection, according to Valli was a traveler (albeit a VERY WEALTHY one!), who packed her couture for a Holiday and after unpacking, all her clothes were wrinkled and creased. He used variations of creased garments in details but there were lots of flowers, sequins and hundreds--if not thousands--of yards of tulle and silk mousseline... What else would a Haute Couture Girl want from a $100,000 dress?

TRENDS: Ballgowns, of course! Sequin applique, mini dresses with back tulle overskirts.

COLORS: White, pink, chartreuse, yellow, tomato red
