Fall 2008 Giambattista Valli Dress or Coat designer-janice-wainwright October 1 1970When I saw this season's Giambattista Valli Fall 2012 couture collection I could not help but think that the 2008 collection, of which this spectacular collection is from, was the precursor for what we saw on the runway. You can see the beginnings of what we saw in this piece! The 2008 collection catapulted Valli to fame and this was one of the cornerstone pieces that was featured everywhere! Produced as shown on the runway in very limited quantities,
