Giambattista Valli headed to the Austrian hills of “The Sound of Music” for his snowy, Edelweiss-infused collection that was executed with finesse yesterday.
Since he took over this arm of Moncler, the floral-loving Italian designer has set most of his shows upon a hill or meadow to combine the house’s outdoorsy vibe with his love of flowers.
The snow-capped peaks of the Tyrol were the season’s backdrop to looks that riffed on traditional Tyrolian dress.
The “dirndl,” a traditional Alpine peasant dress worn in Germany, Austria and the South Tyrol, was reimagined in white fur, sheer tulle and embroideries as the suspenders.
Pale blue tights, meanwhile, led down to black leather platform clogs.
Valli is a master of detail.
Snow appeared as an optical blurry print in one short coatdress _ and, elsewhere, morphed into the endangered Edelweiss flower as immortalized by the Oscar-winning film.
