'(4 Mar 2018) VALENTINO\'S FLOWER WOMEN Flowers and romance were in the air at Valentino, Sunday (04MAR2018) in Paris_ metaphorically speaking. In a literal sense, there also was the sweltering heat owing to the conservatory show venue, which had giant tropical green plants lining the sides of the runway. The decor cross-pollinated into the clothes as designer Pierpaolo Piccioli took an unusually minimalist turn with blooms as a big theme. They came as motifs, embroideries, large tulip-shaped sleeves and surreal flower-shaped hoods that evoked the Parisian couture styles of the 1950s. Beginning in monochrome and moving into flashes of deep sunshine, pale yellow, pea green and Cerulean blue, a semicircle \"frill\" motif adorned hems and went down the front in one loose white gown. It cleverly evoked the shell shapes ubiquitous on the barriers at the sides of flower beds. Sometimes Piccioli ventured creatively too far into his garden: one flower-hood look with an all-encompassing bloom print cut a rather wacky shape. The best look was in monochrome — a fringed coat with dramatic black hood in soft leather.
