VALENTINO MENSWEAR FALL 13

The Menswear Fall collections I have seen so far, have been outstanding. However I have to say in my opinion, Valentino have come up trumps. With their sixties inspired pieces, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piciolli's aim was 'to show what you already know in a different way, with different eyes.' they have managed to mix a collection of houndstooth, black watch plaid and check, whilst adding panels of leather to many pieces. This isn't exactly unexpected after the love of leather that is everywhere at the moment, but in this collection it really adds something special. According to www.style.com, to modernise these timeless patterns, such as the black watch plaid 'The designers start with blue wool, stitch in green, and then overprint black to give shadows and depth.' Ordinary made extraordinary.

P.s. However, not a fan of the clutches for men.
