So the fashion business isn't exactly turning great ROI right now. For Valentino in particular, having your head guru leave makes everything a bit harder. Well imagine how delighted I was when I went through some old runway archives and noticed Valentino's Fall 2009 collection...I have no idea how I missed this first time but goshdarn, I'm glad I found it (again)!

This is black done perfect. I would kill to have that amazing asymmetrical piece, face mask included. I loved the lace, loved the ruffles, loved the weird face masks, loved the feathers--basically everything. I like the crisp, simple backdrop it was shown in, too--way to keep it classy Valentino!
