Exclusive / Neo Romanticist Rochas, Valentino, Giambatista Valli at Paris Fashion Week

Fairy tale-inspired looks are all over the runway, presented through luxurious tailoring and reinterpreted for modern-day heroines.

Rochas

The first things from Rochas that impress are the tinsel-fronted sling backs that are not only seen on the runway but also on the fashionistas on the front row – think Anna Dello Russo and Giovanna Battaglia. The playful and feminine aesthetics are seen throughout the collection. Military-esque belts and structured jackets add a twist to the feminine frocks. Alessandra Dell’Acqua’s second collection for Rochas shows his expert use of fabrics.

Layering a sheer tulle dress over a shirt featuring multiple forms of lace, this look conveys lightness and elegance.

The humming bird print from Rochas’ archives is used as a print and embroidery throughout the collection.

The military-esque belt cinched over the bust creates a Korean Hanbok-esque look.

Valentino

The maison’s design duo, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, sought inspirations from the four corners of Italy – from architecture to arts and creatures of the ocean. The result is a poetic and lyrical collection that exudes the best craftsmanship the brand has to offer.

Floral prints and souvenir scarves juxtaposed for a visual feast.

 

The Broderie Anglaise dress, which comes in a rainbow of hues, is perfect for the summer.

The ocean theme is expressed through star fish and seashells.

Giambatista Valli

In a perfect world, modern-day heroines would travel through time and pack their Giambatista Valli dresses with them. The Italian designer, who recently made headlines for the dress he designed for Amal Alamuddin for her wedding to George Clooney, applies his couture techniques and aesthetics to special fabrics and materials. 

The collage of prints, shapes and textures flaunts the designer’s master workmanship.

Oriental-inspired details and silhouettes are matched with exquisite beadings.

The flattering silhouette is executed with utmost precision to convey timeless femininity.
