RUNWAY: Valentino FW15

Valentino's Fall/Winter 2015 collection was graphic. Everything from the geometric carpet to the matching patterns seen on knits to iridescent tuxedos were graphic. Valentino, one of the most revered and classy men's labels, made these bold patterns chic and essentially made this collection a masterclass in subdued but bold pattern making, a phrase that's somewhat oxymoronic but quite fitting. Highlights include paper-thin knits in geometric patterns to plaid suits, in red, that shocked the system until two green iridescent tuxes came out, glittering with bold patterns, graced the runway. Camo, which the Roman label has trumpeted for years, is now a staple at their shows, regardless of the season, while couture denim (their wording) also made a reappearance.
