chiffon couture ::

Valentino's Spring 2010 Couture collection was the third designed by new heads of house Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli. the collection was inspired, so obviously(?), by Avatar as GQ points out. does this not freak anyone else out? Valentino, king of Couture, in the hands of others goes....blue? sad.

i enjoyed a lot of the collection, but was it fitting of Valentino and especially Valentino couture? chiffon and body conscious dresses ran the show, and brought a fresh sense to the design house. was anyone else thinking some of the colorful body con dresses were similar to the S/S Emanuelle Ungaro looks, or rather what they should have been had Lindsey Lohan not been involved?
