There are some collections that
really hit your senses and restore your faith in the magical world of
fashion. Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli's couture
collection for Valentino this season did just that. It was dreamy,
romantic and sophisticated. The heroine of this collection conjures
memories of Claudia Cardinale in The Leopard: a stunningly beautiful but
mysterious woman who has the elegance and poise to make these pieces
feel natural.
