Spring 2017 Valentino by PierPaolo Piccioli Runway Look 20 Zandra Rhodes Print Silk Dress

- On Layaway
  • The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 2017 collection for Look 20.
  • It was made under the creative direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli and the print was done in collaboration with Zandra Rhodes.
  • Historically, this was an important collection as it was Pierpaolo's first solo show at Valentino. It was also his first collaboration with Zandra Rhodes.
  • The dress is beautifully documented on the runway and was seen at NYFW as well as couture week in Paris. I love how these show you how gorgeous it is once on the body.
  • The dress is made out of a beautiful lightweight silk that has a custom Zandra Rhodes print covering the entire dress. The colour is a light taupe that has a pink undertone to it. The print ranges from black line to pink with a hand painted feel that is done in her proprietary manner in studio.
  • The neckline is cut wide across and the shoulders are soft. The sleeves extend out directly from the shoulder and from the waist. This makes them very wide and they drape fantastically over the arm. 
  • The dress skims over the bust and drapes easily over the body to a more generously cut waist. If you wanted to add more shape, you could easily add a belt.
  • The waist is cut more generously so that you have a beautiful flow from head to toe. You can see this in all of the various reference photos and how it sits on the body. This cut was to become one of Pierpaolo signatures.
  • The skirt flows to the floor from there and it is beautifully full and easy. It is cut on a swinging wide A-line and it is quite full by the time it reaches the hem. The amount of fabric used through the skirt gives it a ton of movement when you walk and move. 
  • The lightness of the silk and the way that it lays over the body allows it to move spectacularly over you and it will pick up the slightest bit of air.
  • The dress is unlined and closes with a hidden set back zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.
  • Tagged a Valentino 40
