Valentino Fall Winter 2010 Collection
March 15, 2010
Tuesday March 9th, 2010- Halle Freyssinet
Digital romanticism. Noir innocence. A refined women, who is also unpredictable, elusive, evasive, overflowing with mystery. Candid and dark. Providing inspiration for Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli’s creative works for Valentino. A natural instinct of creatingm selecting, mixing and layering all different elements is emphasized and highlighted throughout the pret-a-porter Autumn Winter 2010 – 2011 collection.
Reconsideration and reinvention of elegance, altered into a contemporary mode. This newfound quality is now regained and reconquered to exist in the Valentino woman’s wardrobe.
Fovoring unexpected liaisons between natural and technological weaving, ultra light and structured material, padded, doubled and treated fabric. Ensemble of researched pieces including shirts, knits, over the knee skirts and pants are never deprived of desinged lengths, constructions and proportions that harmoniously coexist. Coats, overcoats and jackets are made with straight or slightly flared cuts. Combinations of fluid and supported structures are plastic and freestanding, made of silk crepe, goretex, organza or chiffon.
Ballerinas and stilletos are embellished and made aggressive by exasperated tips and unusual stud applications borrowed from luggage details. Structured and rigid bags persistently echo exclusive designs and finishing.
Everything perfectly joining together with imaginary scenes and the rhythmic direction of American film director Kenneth Anger, who was involved with Chiuri and Piccioli in the conception of the Fall Winter 2010 Valentino show atmosphere.

Stars and Style: 5th Annual Fashion Rocks
September 6, 2008
The fifth annual Fashion Rocks on Friday drew one of its most stellar crowds in years. In Fashion’s corner: designers Vera Wang, Max Azria, Tommy Hilfiger and Valentino, as well as stylish stars Charlize Theron and Hilary Swank. Representing Rocks: Mariah Carey, Mary J Blige, Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, Leona Lewis and dozens more. But even among all the star power, the one performer whom everyone at Radio City Music Hall was dying to see was Justin Timberlake. Apparently, Timberlake is the sort of man who reduces women to monosyllabic speech.
“He’s hot,” gushed Elizabeth Banks.
“Justin’s the bomb,” said Blige. “And very, very cute.”
Duffy, however, was interested in Rihanna; their first run-in was the perfect storm of fashion and rocking. “We met while shopping at Barneys,” Duffy said.
Once inside, Timberlake didn’t disappoint, nor did the rest of the all-star lineup. Beyoncé crooned Etta James’ “At Last,” walking into the front row to bring James to her feet for everyone to see. Lynyrd Skynyrd and Kid Rock collaborated on “Sweet Home Alabama,” and Debbie Harry and Fergie sang “Call Me.”
Denis Leary made for an affable host, and found fashion an easy target. “Naomi Campbell has a fragrance called Mystery,” he said. “The only mystery about her is where she will hit you with a cell phone.”
Afterward, the “Gossip Girl” crew and the marquee musicians walked across the street to the Rainbow Room, where Timberlake and Kid Rock danced to Michael Jackson on the banquettes until midnight.
The following night, Alexander Wang corralled the fashion crew to a basement space in Chinatown, where Erin Wasson and Alice Dellal hosted a party for the designer that drew ODMs (that’s off-duty models) like Behati Prinsloo, Julia Stegner and Noot Sear. Wang began the night in a black Hooters T-shirt (“We tried to go there after the show, but they wouldn’t give us our reservation, so we went to McDonald’s instead,” he said), but soon stripped down to one of his signature gray tanks and joined the hordes dancing and sweating up a storm, waiting for Foxy Brown’s much anticipated set. Finally, at 11:45 p.m., she took the stage in the designer’s hot pink minidress, telling the roaring crowd, “They put me in jail, and my cell was full of Alexander Wang.”
Turns out Brown was celebrating more than Wang’s collection; it was also her birthday. “When he asked me to perform and told me it was going to be Sept. 6, I said, ‘You know what? I’m going to give you that!’” she laughed after her half-hour set. But that’s all she’s giving. Brown won’t be out for any other designer next week. “I don’t whore myself out for fashion,” said the rapper, who’s attended shows for Zac Posen, Chris Aire and Sweetface in the past.
And though this was her first performance since her release from jail earlier this year, Brown didn’t suffer from any stage fright. “I’m a beast on the microphone,” she declared, as a VH1 television crew filmed her for her upcoming reality show. “I was more nervous about busting my ass in these 6-inch Yves Saint Laurent heels!”
