Frida is amazing

[TheChuiChoco]

@gddhnjgh frida is out two collections ago! piccioli and chiuri replaced her since spring couture 2009

[aikobenitez]

@TheChuiChoco Actually gddhnjgh was talking about Frida Gustavsson, the model who opened the show. The previous designer for Valentino was actually Alessandra Facchinetti.

Coleccíon triste y fea,¡¡ que poca imaginacion ¡¡ para ricachonas que se las quieran tener aspecto sobrio en tiempos de crisis, para brujas y fantasmas con ganas de aparentar. Tb para ir de entierro.

I think this collection was a little bit lost, kinda lost majority on the signature color of the house, never had a single piece of red gown or red dress in the collection. At least Alessandra kept the signature of the house with a modern twist. Agree to many people said that a bit givenchy and mcqueen mix with prada shoes. Love Alessandra's collection last fall. So much better than this dark mood collection. At first I thought it was the repetation of the Couture Givenchy Spring 2009.

HORRIBLE COLECTION

[andrewjamesmacleod]

Vapid, remarkably emotionless, and stiff as a board. Allessandra must just be shaking her head over her own firing. She maintained a balance between stiff, but still supple and pliable. I find the proportions odd; they look like clothing that has shrank in the wash. I love the palette of earthy non-colours, and the beautiful materials. It's a shame Allessandra was fired. Her designs were like fond recollections of a child of the late 1950's/early '60s, and most of all, were original & emotional.

Totally agree. It's so stupid, too, because the new "designers" say this is a new Valentino...well then what the hell was Alessandra?

It's a terrible collection masquerading (pun intended) as something worthwhile. This is seriously a total ripoff of McQueen, Givenchy...and Marchesa. And there isn't a shred of Valentino here...which is why I loved Alessandra so much. Because she made clothes that were modern, focused, unique and yet still maintained the essence of the house.

[allooui]

Oh and how dare they show flats in this collection...as if they thought is was some new, fresh idea...I'm sorry but that was Alessandra's thing.

[cerfsvolants]

ditto!!!!!

[andrewjamesmacleod]

I think the most apt criticism is derivative; it is derivitive of other designer's work, but not in a legitimate, fragmented way (as Lacroix does so well, say), having moved on from regressive and unoriginal.

It is also like they are sneering at the criticisms. One notes the music is less formal, they have shown at the less formal Ecole des Medicines (often used for ready to wear shows, with only Givenchy using it for couture), and one of them wearing jeans for their bow at the end.

[andrewjamesmacleod]

... as opposed to designing something original and beautiful, you know? Creating clothes with ease and elegance, rather than playing connect the dots.

[pantimama]

YEEEES, exactly LILEON...it reminds me a looot to mcqueen fw06 and ss07!!!..

[lileon2790]
