Instead of buying a ticket to the exotic land of Hawaii, just swift through the new Valentino Pre-Spring 2016 Collection and get bedazzled by the gorgeous tropical designs.

As you come across the designs, a simple glance could attest that the most striking assets would definitely be the palm trees and flowers. But when you take a closer look, you can discern evocative waves of fall colors, combined with the summery tropical patterns. I think we all agree that it’s an adventurous blend, adding a new modernistic flare to the brand.

As such, the collection comprises of large shirts in dreamy Hawaiian landscapes, such as coconut trees and tropical flowers, combined with fluid midi skirts in a palette of brown, green and yellow colors. Shirts take the form of maxi dresses, belted at the waist with a vibrant color to highlight the figure. While some mini-dresses are combined with jersey jackets, others take the form of long-sleeved midi dresses featuring an iconic Hawaiian landscape, what with the tress, the ocean and the flowers.An exceptional fusion of blue, orange, yellow and green intensify the exoticness of the collection, while keeping it extremely modern. And just when you think the Hawaiian frenzy is over, coats, shorts and even bags cast their tropical spell on you! A unique mix-and-matching that only Valentino could beautifully pull off. Whatever comes to your mind, you will definitely find, from sheer dresses, to deep-plunged cuts and see- through materials. Even the menswear collection harbors a unique twist to it, as male models were seen wearing palm tree patterned shorts, sweaters, jerseys and vests, in a very nature-like color palette, ranging from beige to green, blue, yellow and brown.

Yet another Valentino wonder, only this time it will take you by tropical storm.

Swift through the Photo Gallery to view the Hawaiian marvels.
