Valentino Spring 2010 Ready-To-Wear Paris

A petit section from my Valentino Personal Response that i wrote for my AS Textiles.

Looking at the dresses from this collection gives me a sense of stepping into a secret garden that becomes a very stylish fairy tale. I love the fact that throughout the collection the colours are pale and subtle which enhances the style of each dress that Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli have designed for this collection. In some of the garments you can see that there have been pearls, diamonds and feathers added which demonstrates eveningwear rather than just a ‘ready-to-wear’ day wear collection. As well as these beautifully flowing dresses gliding down the runway, the shoes that have been accessorized to these fairy tale garments are so sensational with lace delicately flowing up one models ankle and light pink petals on another models shoe. They coordinate and enhance every piece.been used in parts of the garments. I would like to bring these in to my final design, to show this “delicate” feel by using light delicate fabrics. The romantic soft tones of nude, rose, lavender, gold and grey with “swirling organza” around the body, beautifully tied off with a luxurious flamboyant bow, show a very contrasting side to the other collections that I have been looking at. I have made some samples that relate to this collection as well as produced and drawn a range of flowers in various fabrics to represent the petals that have

J'aime le Rouge.

I am at a loss, as i have nothing to do- work was canceled. So i decied to dress up.. in red. What do you think? Pretty much everything is from Topshop. As you will find out throughout my up coming posts that my whole wardrobe is Topshop. I should have shares in the company. So yes, my red dress bought about 3 months ago for my leavers day party.

 My shoes Tan with a block wood heel, which i love to wear with skinny jeans. Nail varnish (always wearing red at the moment) War Paint £5 a must to buy. And red lipstick Rio Rio- It makes me feel invincible. I would defiantly recommend.

Personally, wearing anything red will make me feel great. As my confidence has never been amazing.

And if you want to feel better in yourself.. this colour is defiantly the way to go.Looking at buying this beautiful Chanel nail varnish in colour Dragon or Pirate. Also these stunning shoes from Topshop.. i hate having to save. But maybe once i get to Australia, i will purchase these tremendous shoes.. to congratulate myself on actually making it there without ending up in the wrong country.

p.s Oh and on the subject of red. Personally Valentino is one of the most amazing and inspirational designers of our time. And this photo illustrates his talent and beauty with Model Natalia Vodianova from Vogue.com.

Bonjour.

I thought i would start a petit blog. Of what inspires me and what i find interesting in my day. I am traveling to Australia to live in Adelaide with my family for a few months                                                          to work and to do a petit travelling, before i start at London College of Fashion next September to study Fashion Design and Marketing. And Today i bought a couple beaautiful bright red Antler suitcases, to keep safe all my clothes while traveling over Europe, India and 
South East Asia. Stopping over in Singapore for three hours.. which i am so excited about as the shops are fabulous in the airport. The thing i am mainly worrying about, is that i will get side tracked in a shop and miss my flight.. 

My small suitcase i will take on as hand luggage with my Apple Mac laptop (Annie), Vogue of-course, Fashionary sketch book which is amazing.. so many dresses to design..which is always in my handbag, wearing Topshop nail varnish and beautiful Chloe perfume. And of-course my ipod and passport. 

Checked the baggage allowance 23kg.. only. The additional baggage allowance prices on flights are ridiculous.. i can't help it that i have a lot of clothes..
