Valentino Haute Couture 2009
The recent Haute Couture Fashion Week saw the presentation of a very romantic collection by Valentino. The collection was especially varied and diverse in the number of shoe models.
It is in fact very typical of Haute Couture collection to be focused primarily on clothing, with the shoes mostly remaining unnoticed. It is usually once 2-3 models that are presented. However, the recently held Fashion Weeks seem to be breaking that unspoken rule.
The last Valentino Haute Couture 2009 collection includes several shoe models, highly different from each other.
It looks like designers Valentino Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri have chosen bows as the decoration element of the season. They even decorated the classical stiletto heel with a huge bow that reminds a little bit of a flower in its shape. Well frankly speaking, I think this fan is only manageable for a very experienced fashion follower. It is also likely, that we will see one of the celebrities walking the red carpet in these shoes soon.
These suede shoes with a closed upper part are a combination of ankle boots and sandals. Had it not been for a huge black bow in the back, this model could even be worn in real life.
Another style represented in the collection is shoes with feathers. The look created with this decorative element is rather feminine and passionate. In fact, it is so for both heels and flats.
Valentino also introduces cute little flats, decorated with sparkly elements and absolutely unexpected long feathers. These flats can be painlessly and absolutely efficiently worn in our everyday life. Unlike the other shoes in the collection they are pretty convenient for walking.
These sandals with fluffy feathers are a little bit reminiscent of Amazon accessory or of an urban plunderer. But just like the other elements in the collection, they are very interesting in terms of design.
