Behold the glory of Valentino Spring Couture! I absolutely loved this show, which made it all the more difficult to weave this post together. With 55 gorgeous creations and dozens more detailed shots, curating a set of images that convey the beauty, range, and unparalleled craftsmanship of this collection is a feat for any editor.

Each look was inspired by an opera, and those interpretations varied widely—from the minimally understated to the textural safari-esque to the ethereal delicacy shown below. No matter the style or silhouette, it all feltveryValentino, with embroidery, lacework, appliqués, and artistry that could bring a tear to the eye. So beautiful!
