Ball gowns, sheath dresses and wide-legged pants, all found their place in this collection. From swirling brocades and shimmery sequins to elaborate appliques and ruffles, a lot of techniques were fused with their toit cultural elements to form this magnificent capsule collection.

Small wonder that Piccioli dubbed the collection “Valentino Daydream.”
