Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli unveiled their latest Haute Couture Collection at the helm of Valentino with a special, one-off extravaganza in New York City in celebration of the house’s new Fifth Avenue flagship store. From deceptively simple, neo-retro silhouettes in cashmere to high-necked tulle blouses and micro-leather floral embroidered organza gowns, the collection was a white-out, in an homage to Valentino Garavani’s iconic 1968 white collection, and ended on a decidedly romantic note, with a column dress tonally embroidered with LOVE NY. It’s safe to say that the feeling is mutual.
