I became enamored with the collection’s transparency, delicacy and soft tones of nude and gray. Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, Creative Directors for Valentino, presented the Spring 2010 collection with a relaxed, hipster kind of aesthetic.

Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli worked as the Valentino accessory designers before they became designers of the main label in 2008.

Hip and dreamy for a stylish free spirit. Unpolished hair, nude lips. Translucent layers, soft colors. Valentino’s red gown trademark was missing. A new design vocabulary that is possibly more modern and simple. We love the new, youthful Valentino girl.

Who says understated can be boring?
