Think of an amazing way to end a fashion show as epic as Valentino. Now picture said ending and add Naomi Campbell to the whole mix. Yes, you read right. The legendary model Naomi Campbell closed Valentino’s Haute Couture runway show and it was fa-bu-lous – to say the least. Indeed, the model made an unexpected appearance as she walked the finale in a sheer black gown with layers upon layers of ruffles.

But let’s go back to the start, shall we? On the last day of Haute Couture week, Pierpaolo Piccioli delivered an outstanding collection for Valentino, full of the joys of floral gowns, voluminous shapes and a whole lot of ruffles. The designer created a collection where no rules applied, from the shapes to the contrasting colors and the exquisite materials. If there was an expression of creativity and dreams, that was it. And so, pieces ranging from tiered-ruffle gowns to balloon-sleeves and overbearing numbers were all the rage – Kaia Gerber herself strutted down the runway in a green shimmery gown that was so majestic we could cry. And it was everything Valentino was about and more.
