Valentino Spring 2012 Couture Collection

  Would you be able to tell, from looking at it, that over a thousand hours of labor went into the above dress? What exactly is haute couture supposed to look like? Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri have worked hard to redefine the Valentino name once they took over the house,...
