PARIS, Oct 10, 2004/ FW/ – Elegance is about reality for Valentino next spring summer 2005 as he brings magnificence, glamour and luxury to the everyday on the Parisian catwalks, day seven of ready to wear Paris.

From pearl to scrumptiously thick belted waists, Italian giant Valentino who chooses Paris over Milan to show his women’s wear collections, in 74 looks at noon today, left his audience in awe yet again. Not only for his genuine chic fashion trend prediction but also for his mastery in craftsmanship.

Delicate embroidery, appliqué and signature Valentino print along with choice fabric selection from rich lace to suede, wool, georgette, chiffon and silk crepe allow his fans to feel beautiful in everything they wear, whether it be a knit bikini or stunningly flowing formal evening dress where ruffles dance as his ladies walk.

As the curtain lifted, the flouro illuminescent box set store window came to life as Valentino women sashayed down the runway. Knee length flouncy and pleated skirts took first place over tailored straight-legged trousers worn with mini jackets that are cropped and too short to close, their use becoming simple decisive accessory rather than functional pieces, matching perfectly with his delicious mini totes, voluminous bags and elegant wedge platform sandals.

Key masculine elements like great shirts are added to ultra feminine cuts where both the casual and formal mingle to compliment the all rounded modern women of today. Parka’s both in taffeta for days and organza for evenings are worn over delicate lace, ribbon, embroidery and satin, among others and are the new ‘must have’ items of the summer.

Valentino like always is a name for the elite, distinguishing himself with exquisite tastes and tailoring, fabrics and design, making this collection a perfect mix between the young, the sporty and the utterly feminine.
