Giambattista Valli Fall 2013 Couture Favorites


These are my favorite looks from the Giambattista Valli Fall 2013 Couture show. There were 40 magnificent pieces in this show, and these are just 4 of many eye-catching dresses.


Red always seems to catch my eye, especially when the color is presented in gown form. I love the way in which he combined a masculine jacket collar with the red silk flowers, it truly makes for an intriguing piece. We will definitely be seeing this on the red carpet.


This dress presents itself as a unique take on the typical baby-doll dress. The top almost looks like it's in the shape of a fitted vest, whereas the bottom is a bubble skirt with a layer of silk flowers built under the first layer of the skirt. The dress is finished off with a "ribbon" made of tarnished steel. You could definitely call this gorgeous dress a one of a kind.


This dress caught my eye when I first watched the runway show online. The embroidered 3-dimensional flowers are nothing less than stunning, and the white lace material used just makes the dress seem whimsical. In looking up pictures from the show, it came to my attention that these short dresses worn over these clinging, trailing skirts can actually  be separated to create shapely little cocktail dresses, those in which Valli is known for. How cool is that?!


Last but not least is this white high low dress. I liked this dress because of its simplicity and its use of an array of different fabrics. I would say it's a take on the average wedding dress, because it's cut short in the front to create a more edgy look. Overall, I would say that Valli knocked this show out of the park.
