Lady Gaga...Valentino green leather coat!

I don't want to speak always about Lady Gaga but is just that I saw this amazing Valentino green leather coat on Net-a-Porter and I would like to write about it and so I think that to show a nice celeb that wore it would have been more interesting. So, even if we are used to the strange outfits of Lady Gaga for the first time she just wore something elegant and nothing else.  The coat is very simple and I think that even if I don't like the philosophy of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli I believe  that they are amazing in creating accessories and coats. The dresses are very sophisticated but not so interesting, they are too boring even if Franca Sozzani appreciate them a lot. The peculiarity of the coat is the perfect silhouette, the bright color and the double breasted bottons with some details on the shoulder that are between the military style and the classic "elegance" of the coats.

RED Valentino....jersey dress!

RED Valentino is the "young" line of valentino that has also a "charity" aim. It's amazing (for me) how today the second lines of the designer are acquiring more importance in the fashion system. I can think to McQ (young line of McQueen) that was the subject of an article on Vogue Italia just about this thing, But also the low cost lines of the designers, designed for chains like H&M (recently Lanvin, but also Rykiel, Choo...), Gap (recently Valentino) or Mango (Zuhair Murad). We can see that the past division between riches and poors at least in the fahsion sistem is not so present. I'm not saying that today there aren't social classes in the fashion system (that's not true!) but maybe there's not the past clichè that the "rich" people wear expensive dress and the poor ones "cheap" dresses. So, all this paragraph to say that this dress designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, for RED Valentino, is amazing for the price (just 280 euros), the design (I love the clepsydra silhouette), the match of materials: tulle and jersey, together, create a lovely light effect that makes this mini-dress right for parties or chic evenings.
