Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli presented an all-about-Rome haute couture collection for the upcoming cold season at Piazza di Spagna, Rome.

Valentino Couture Fall-Winter 2015/2016 collection offers clean-cut lines, long evening gowns, plunging necklines, embellished coats, gold embroidery, lace up sandals, stripped dresses reminding the Byzantine Empire.

The fairy tale gowns are like a poem about the Eternal City in chiffon, silk, organza, tulle and velvet.

The color palette includes mainly black, red and gold as symbols of the absolute luxury elegance, which is typical for the Valentino woman.
