📍Seville: Its orange trees, magnificent gardens, deep blue skies, baroque architecture and its fascinating melange of Islamic and Hispanic influences. 📍@GiambattistaValli’s film for his spring couture opens with a split screen: the stunning Andalusian castle La Casa de Pilatos on one side and a model twirling in a ruffled cape in red taffeta on the other. Valli captured the Seville scenes himself last December, and made plain in his diptychs how the architecture inspired his designs, in color and grandeur. 📍Couture is not about decoration. Couture is about volumes,” he asserted. “When you sketch ready-to-wear, you have to be a designer. When you create haute couture, you have to be a sculptor. It’s the difference between building a space and decorating it.” Employing the tools at hand—the bias cut, dégradé, miles of taffeta—he worked every one of them to achieve the formidable dimensions that embodied this collection. #fashiongram #fashionblog #fashionaddict #fashiondaily #couture @fhcm @giambattistavalliparis #valli #giambattistavalli #hautecouture #SS2021 #paris #couturefashion #pfw #fashionphotography #stylegram #styleblogger #FTV
