The retirement of famed fashion designer Valentino has left a void in the hearts of the fashion savvy, but luckily his predecessors, designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, are living up the legacy that the talented designer left behind.
The Valentino Spring 2010 collection was a fresh take on classic Valentino style that saw the two designers pushing for a younger target market.
Transparent party-dresses and embellished and textured minis were seen splashed all over the runways of the Valentino Spring 2010 collection.
Milner Philip Treacy was also at the helm of the Valentino Spring 2010 collection, designing fanciful footwear that included feathers, and lace wings.
One thing noticeably absent from the Valentino Spring 2010 collection was the signature red dress that the famed designer would always close out his show with. It was somewhat disappointing to see the loss of one of the designers trademark show-stoppers, but the design duo that created this seasons line are a breath of fresh air that will bring more relevance to this seasons trends, as well as please a younger generation of customers.
