Valentino Couture Fall 2008

Lots of new things to see at Valentino this season with Alessandra Facchinetti designing the collection.


A very modern silhouette.



A tucked, flat jabot is a real contrast to the lace skirt.



Zipped coat with skirt.



Beautiful draping.



A real statement suit.



Interesting color work and chiffon accents.



A fantasy blouse.



Beautiful passementerie on this coat.



Another blouse with jabot, although I could wish that it had sleeves.



A beautiful bell-shaped skirt with embellishment and chiffon trained leggings.



A beautifully sequined and embroidered suit with darling collar and cuffs.



A bead-smocked jabot on a beaded dress.



A gorgeously beaded little jacket over a lighter-than-air skirt.



Beautifully cut chiffon gown. You can see the french dart detail below, and the embroidered modesty panel at the neckline.
