Pastel print A-line dresses are nipped in the waist, and feminine tulle maxi gowns are delicately embroidered with garden-specked beadwork and tiny floral appliqués. Moving on from sprightly daywear, the collection takes a darker turn with a set of coal-black pants suits and skirts, and demure gowns in duotone animal print and optical alluring stripes.
The kitten heel re-emerges in 2013, and is a constant feature throughout, clasped by metallic ankle straps. Vibrant hand-held leather clutches duly compliment each look; these are sure to be on the wish-list of Valentino fans everywhere. Vivid splashes of fuchsia make an eye-catching end to this exquisite Pre-Spring collection.
My favourite looks from this collection have to be the floral pop art evening gown (set one), the black leather lace and tulle gown (set six) and the striking hot pink animal print maxi dress above. Which are yours?

I love the third dress in set 1 and the first dress in set 3! Both are gorgeous - I'm so glad lace is going to be an A/W 2012 trend!
Although I am dreading the return of the kitten heel - me and it do not get along well lol :-)

Oh my goooshh! How have I not yet seen this collection somewhere?! It's so stunning. Seriously, I don't think I've fallen in love with a collection so much before. That second pastel floral dress is just amazing (set one) and the first long dresses in set 4 and the last set are just beautiful. I really like all these long dresses actually. Wow!
Valentino is like the ultimate classic one.....beautifully made and chic...love love it

I like the yellow and green lace dresses in the 3rd row, but everything in row 5 is my fave.
I love the colors but I think there needs to be a bit more red... Ha!
The first set, aaaal, please! Then the first ruffle green skirt, and then the green lace dress - next to it, the yellow skirt. Such a lvely collection!
I went to the beach yesterday and of course thought of you - I know you ike when I go there, you told me once, because you know I am happy there!
This is freaking awesome. I just love every single dress.....
Thanks so so much for visiting a leaving a lovely comment on my blog.

Ahh so beautiful! I think the third row is my favourite because of the beautiful colours. I'm not overly keen on kitten heels but I'd wear those pointy, ankle strapped ones...they're gorgeous! xxx
This collection is colourfull and very modern! :)
Hey, Sam!
With many other things to do, I'm becoming a lazy blogger these days, but when I take it up again, I love visiting your blog, for there's always a nice surprise in it, and of course you're a dear friend to me.
On this post, I see you're growing to be a fine fashion critic, too! My Valentino's resort faves are: the green lace frock, the tulle, lace and leather gown, and the pink strapless gown.
Have a great rest of the week!
XOXO,
María José

Thanks for your visit and great sweet comment hun..
I have a new post and I would love to hear from you
xxo
interesting collection... it's edgier and more risky than the other collections we've seen in a while isn't it. those floral dresses in the first collection look like they should be hug on display as a piece of art.
Love all these gorgeous colors and patterns! The hot pink and black collection is my favorite - especially the middle dress!
And don't worry, I will make sure I am 100% healthy before finishing that race! You're so sweet to be concerned though!
