Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli have created a new Valentino. Their overly elegant and unreachable approach has kept intact, that timeless and ethereal image, richness in their handcraft and textures is beyond perfect; but this "young" and "fresh" vibe on their designs gives this Couture show a twist. Fascinated with this collection. I can picture row of billionaire princesses fighting over these couture pieces - well, not them, but their bodyguards :)
+Allan Manzanares I agree completely, I don't think I've ever been this transfixed by a runway show. This is so fresh and ethereal and I've fallen in love with it!
The clothing, the jewelry...so beautiful, so feminine...so historical and contemporary at the same time...no place for weirdness or that sense of ugliness that everybody embraces looking for modernity....omg...this is so marvelous every single outfit is so delicate and powerful in its beauty...some of them remind me of Pasolini's Medea...absolutely amazing!
I am absolutely blown away with everything---the collection, the music, and the show set-up & concept. It's all very elite & pristine. BRAVO VALENTINO!!!!
Es ist Kunst, ausgezeichnet, erhaben. Ein unvergessliches Sammlung !!! Con musica de Morricone, Delerue, Barber y la Citta Eterna de fondo MAGNIFICO!!! Que maravilla. Una de las mejores colecciones 2015/2016 Bravo!!!
I love what Maria and Pierpaolo have done with Valentino. They are my favorite couture designers. This collection was an absolute triumph, it gave me chills. Their clothes make me want to be Italian.
Seriously!!! This collection exudes elegance with a perfect touch of whimsicality. Maria Garzia Chiuri & Pierepaolo Piccioli never disappoint me. Just perfect. Great diverse casting of models as well.
The first ever runway show I got emotional. It was so beautifully done this is by far one of the best runway shows I've ever seen where everything fell into place: scenery, music, models, clothes.
seriously this is the best fashion show ive seen ,everything looks really elegant with a weird Gothic warrior vibe and i looove the dresses with the capes they have a sense of queenly status but i especially like the looser ones(dresses) .Lets hope they make a men version (with knight,kings and such, maybe Greek inspired but keep the modern flare)
This is one of the most beautiful tributes to Rome... Is a love letter to those past times that made this city the center of western civilization. There were tears, a lot, because I felt the love, the nostalgia, the memories and the dedication. Amazing collection. Amazing Pierpaolo and Maria Grazia.
The first piece of music is the Agnus Dei which Samuel Barber transcribed for choir from his own masterpiece, Adagio For Strings. He transcribed the Adagio For Strings based on the suggestion of Arturo Toscanini, Toscanini told Barber if he would transcribe the second movement of his first String Quartet for string orchestra, then he, Toscanini, would conduct the world premier. The rest is history. The next piece was from the 1986 movie, The Mission, and is associated with the character, Gabriel. Entitled Gabriel's Oboe. The Mission's film score was composed by Ennio Morricone. The score was the most outstanding part of the movie and is, really, the main reason we remember the movie. The music is still played whenever a melody of profound and unearthly beauty is needed. As for the rest of the movie I do not know.
Bill, watched the whole thing...fashion and "Adagio for Choir"...what a beautiful combination, although the Barber always makes me feel like I'm witnessing the end of the world. Thank you!!
bhalgrimson Barry, you are probably feeling the Mysterium Tremendum, which the Barber tends to evoke. For me it is the most beautiful emotion. The unutterable and overwhelming presence of the Divine. The numinous.
I remember livestreaming this show and how it brought tears to my eyes. It was a religious experience. This collection's simply divine and breathtaking.
Maravilloso desfile, esta colección es la definición de la belleza, elegancia, sofisticación, estilo...Con una música celestial. Por fin un desfile de Alta Costura en el que los invitados van vestidos de gala, dándole más glamour al evento. La realización del video con las panorámicas de Roma son perfectas , apreciándose hasta la cúpula de San Pedro. ¡ Bravo por María y Pierpaolo !
Pierpaolo y Maia Grazia juntos en Valentino extraordinarios. En la actualidad han tomado caminos diferentes y tristemente no lo ha encontrado aun. Mucha suerte.
What a very stunning collection.. From the details of each piece, to the jewels and how the models brought it to life is PERFECT..This collection is intricately done..So modern yet so contemporary.. I can't wait celebs wearing this on the red carpet..
this whole collection was breath taking. I didn't see any piece that I didn't like. I didn't say I would've added this or I wouldn't have put that or it was to much or not enough for any piece everything was simply amazing
The designer was able to capture the feminine essence through the delicate fabrics and the lace gave that mystical air, giving the black a unique role, with no other to say magnificent.
The only couture that happens to touch my heart. It's like watching a beautiful historical roman film but executed in this beautiful couture clothes. It doesn't need an intellectual mind to love this collection. It is obviously well receive by people in that fashion show and can we imagine how emotional if were all to witness this. We don't need the famous fashion press or bloggers with their force beautiful critic to appreciate this one. The best of the season followed by maison margiela and sad to say about fendi, i like it but it bothers me that a lot of animals had been skin to execute that.
Thought I was seeing pieces for a gothic, period drama for TV! Or a opera ! Valentino is not known for doing pieces for movies or TV, but pure fashion for what we as people want to see for today or the future! Who approve this!!!!!
They could have found a much better quality recording of the Agnus Dei at the beginning but besides that, this is so gorgeous and otherwordly and I love it so much also that standing ovation was so totally deserved
In my own opinion, I believe this ones the best of this years haute couture collection. But I still admire and look up to all other designers! Congratulations to you all! BLESSINGS! :)
gorgeous. it would be nice to see models of more diverse body types - the clothes are so stunning that many different types of bodies would look absolutely beautiful in them.
ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN SO FAR. IS HERITAGE INSPIRED FASHION A TREND? IS INSPIRATIONAL THEME FASHION LINE CONCEPT becoming ECONOMIC in design philosophy? The HIGH CONTRAST of IRONY between “what one had so much of ” in the past and “what one has lost” today perhaps in its treasury and status but not in its CULTURE and SPIRIT is a thought. Is this show a tribute to the long struggle of the ailing economy of Greece now? Once it was affluent now it is suffering-----truly a DESIGN INTERPRETATION which is SENSIBLE. The maquillage became beautifully subdued in contrast to the pared down garments balanced with low-keyed ancient Greek jewelry renewed to send a message of promise for Greece to rise again. The music "Agnus Dei" penetrates into our bones creating an emotional goose pumps. If one closes his eyes, the music has some sense of AGONY and those IMAGES OF BY GONE ERA lingers on. Designer BALENCIAGA once said, there is not FASHION if there is NO EMOTION. Valentino has always been my idol. The new Valentino in Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli have continued Valentino’s points of view in design. PERFECTION. Elegance. DETAILS. Inspirational. CLASSIC. Timeless. HANDCRAFTED. Regal. ETERNAL. Valuable. MEMORABLE.
This is their best work hands down. The collection made me cry, everything about it is perfection.
I almost cried when I saw how one of those gowns actually looks on a real woman like Maria Grazia! :-(
Stephen Nagy I cried too
Stephen Nagy It's funny but I cried too. amazing collection.
I cried of lies. shame.

Bill D I feel the very same - The Divine.
+Bill D, I think the next piece of music is from the movie Casino. I have to double check
I remember livestreaming this show and how it brought tears to my eyes. It was a religious experience. This collection's simply divine and breathtaking.
My best and favourite by far!!!! Location, dress, everything!!!!
