Giambattista Valli’s Spring 2012 Couture collection is fantastic, one of the best we have seen so far. It features amazing ballgowns, red-carpet-worth floor-length dresses and chic cocktail outfits. To finish the looks the designer topped models’ heads with flower-inspired headpieces.

Giambattista Valli was born to design couture. I am not saying his prêt-a-porter collections are bad. They are fresh and interesting. But his couture ranges (two of them have been presented so far) are absolutely incredible. The one he unveiled for Spring 2012 left me breathless.

Giambattista Valli’s ballgowns impressed me the most. Pompous, luxurious and sophisticated at the same time these came as the climax of the designer’s Spring 2012 Couture show. Floral prints were amazing and the colors looked great.

Other floor length gowns were more demure but they were also chic and exquisite which automatically put them into the range of future red carpet choices. The drapery was outstanding and finished with golden flowers used as necklaces, and collars it created an incredible effect.

Just like his more sumptuous designs Giambattista Valli’s cocktail dresses and ensembles from the Spring 2012 Couture collection were clearly inspired by flowers which realized in a variety of patterns and lovely details that made the garments look interesting.
