Giambattista Valli's new collection was inspired by 'eccentric or extraordinary women and their relationship with their garden.'
Backstage at Giambattista Valli’s spring show, the designer was fretting. Heads of state including Bill Clinton and Vladimir Putin were in Paris for the funeral of former French president Jacques Chirac, and Valli was worried his audience would be held up in traffic.
“Actually, the story’s about eccentric or extraordinary women and their relationship with their garden,” he said, pointing to photographs of art patron Peggy Guggenheim and artist Louise Nevelson, alongside his modern-day socialite friends: Sabine Getty, Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert and Eugenie Niarchos.
The idea of someone owning the public garden adjacent to the Louvre museum is not all that outlandish in Valli’s world. After all, his white lace dresses were inspired by the Chantilly lace parasols at Marie-Hélène de Rothschild’s country chateau, and the jewelry was made with 18th-century Meissen porcelain flowers.
