Valentino's Prima Collection : Fall 2010 RTW

Have you seen the Valentino collections lately?

I rarely comment much on fashion, as my own daily uniform consists of jeans and some type of cotton shirt.. but really, this is a mastery of ruffles...

The spring collection was brilliant, diaphanous fabrics coaxed into swells and valleys, wouldn't these be lovely to see in action, drifting along... 

And then fall.. Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri are modernizing Valentino.

Okay, perhaps the ravishing red dress is a bit impractical for visiting clients, but that spirited ruffled jacket could probably work! As could these: a sublime blouse with perfectly cut trousers, the ideal day dress, and a very practical (wishlist) black coat.. 

A motley of delicate fabrics, irrepressible ruffles, a force ro be reckoned with...
