Valentino Spring 2012 Couture - Behind the Scenes

....a girl can only dream with these utterly beautiful  lace and organza gowns covered in sprigged flower prints ! The inspiration behind the collection was Marie Antoinette when she was a young Austrian princess, and in the designer Pier Paolo Piccioli''s words:

"Fashion needs culture or it becomes empty!"

What and exquisite collection that transports you to an utterly magic time...!
