I think Rima did an excellent job explaining what has happened to Valentino and how the label is being represented by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli. Thoughthey have not represented Valentino is the collections they have presented, the spring collection did embody the “young and girly” and “soft and “lovely”  characteristics that Valentino himself brought to every collection. If you have not read Rima’s post : I do not see Valentino is this AT ALL Look at the details! I mean, they are very talented designers even if they have not shown a full “Valentino” collection… I don’t think anyone will be ... Read Full Story
MILAN (Reuters Life!) - Italy's Valentino has pinned down the right balance for the fashion brand whose founder retired last year with its latest womenswear collection receiving "great response" from press and buyers, its CEO said. Valentino's founder, Valentino Garavani, retired last year after heading the house for nearly half a century and making its trademark red evening gowns regulars on the red carpets at the Oscars, Cannes film festival and elsewhere. His successor Alexandra Facchinetti lasted less than a year before leaving "embittered." She was replaced by in-house team Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli. Last month they showed short feminine dresses ... Read Full Story

Valentino's new design team slashed hemlines, toned down the palette and substituted the old lady brocades for racy tulle and lace for a winter 2010 haute couture collection Wednesday that looked aimed to seduce a younger, hipper clientele. Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli — who last year replaced Valentino's successor just two seasons after the maestro retired — had been stuck in the label's archives. For their first two collections at the helm of the house, they delivered up couture and pret-a-porter collections that were "more Valentino than Valentino," full of ladylike duchess silk coats in jewel tones and proper A-line dresses ...

PARIS (Reuters) - Wartime movie-star suits at Jean-Paul Gaultier and delicate black dresses at Valentino wrapped up the season's haute couture shows in Paris on Wednesday. Several couturiers staged pared-down catwalk shows or even scrapped them altogether, opting for simple presentations, as even the highest echelons of fashion felt the global economic downturn. Amid the gloom, Gaultier sounded a defiant note. "For thirty, forty years ... one has been talking about the funeral of haute couture ... find solutions ... and put even the most basic things into question," he said, presenting his 2009-2010 winter collection inspired by 1930s and 1940s movie stars watched ...
