Valentino Petal Wool and Silk-Blend Dress

As Pierpaolo Piccioli’s latest Valentino collection graces the runway, thousands of red roses fell from the ceiling. That’s an apt way to introduce a dress inspired by flowers if ever we saw one. Rather than take the expected route, though, the Creative Director shapes the skirt of this wool- and silk-blend dress to resemble petals – see the softly curved edges? Make styling equally subtle – think nude courts and a simple patent clutch.
