@michelepierro I agree. Alessandra's touch seemed more genuine to the Valentino identity....the "dark romance" thing the new duo does is nice but so.......predictable.
@gemifredricko Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, (Donatella) Versace, Hanae Mori, Nina Ricci, and a number of other female designers have already been established in the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. Alessandra (at the time) was one of the few female designers doing couture, but she was definitely not the first woman to do couture.
I think the market for Valentino will ultimately prevail though. His clients demand no nonsense amped-up glamour and while I do think Facchinetti's vision of Valentino is delightfully innovative in dissolving his usually graphic and structured necklines into flowing delicate prints and refined embroideries, it is far too demure a collection for them. The upcoming a/w under the new team treaded very carefully in reinstating that sharpness and brassiness, if a little heavy-handedly.
The thing that really annoyed me was that the new designers are not romantic designers, and said they were 'concrete.' I thought Facchinetti was accused of not sticking to the archives enough, but I think she did so more than the new two. She's so nice as well!
Honestly when I saw the title 'Alessandra Facchinetti for...' I was hoping that it is some recent news of her.
Anyway Valentino is nothing with those retards who have no idea how to make clothes. I'm secretly hoping that it will one day be shut down because there's no new customers and the sales is going down down down. And then Alessandra will be laughing her ass off.
