The embroidered patent and crocodile dress from the spring 2012 collection in the first cover is to die for.

By the way, I am absolutely in love with the collage and thermal effects used in the covers. I always look forward to seeing the covers of magazines like Pop and Love because they are always so fun and beautiful.

  • Spring 2012 Haute Couture Week in Paris

I love that no matter the season, no matter the year, a Valentino garment is so identifiable.  The pieces are always ultra feminine, full and perfectly tailored with a keen eye for detail making a woman feel so unbelievably chic and ladylike.

At this years spring 2012 Haute Couture show in Paris sheer cinched waisted cocktail dresses with strategically placed glittery floral embellishments made a prominent statement on the runway. One of my favourite reoccurring looks throughout the collection were the pleated high wasted pants cropped pants which felt very 50s. Lastly I cannot go without paying some sort of attention to the iconic gowns that once again were overflowing with lace, florals, ultra sheer weightless fabrics and crystal embellishments all feeding into Valentino’s classic romanticism. 

Once again Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Picciol have outdone themselves.
