The Valentino Fall 2010 show for Paris Fashion Week had models floating down the runway in frothy, multi-tiered ruffles. Looking almost like sleek wedding cakes, these fashions were good enough to eat.
The luxurious gowns and ensembles would have looked more structured and stiff had it not been for their elaborate mounting ruffles. The Valentino Fall 2010 show proves that looking like dessert will always be in fashion, which I think is great (since all confections are awesome).
