– Balenciaga , on the other hand, lets itself be fascinated by the charm of the 40s divas, choosing long gloves as an indispensable complement to the perfect evening dress, which plays with volumes according to our desires. Do you want to feel a little princess? Then dare with volumes and drapes , but if you want to enchant without too many frills, a short bustier dress with a train promises to be one of the most original models for next winter.

Sweetheart necklines, one shoulder, the elegant dress follows the shape of the body and aligns with its expressiveness, an old lesson from the Valentino Anatomy Couture that invites us to choose the evening dress of dreams by listening to our body.

Texture, design and patterns: the elegant dresses of the next winter season travel between past and present

Archival research, a look at the past, love and the rediscovery of vintage are now an indispensable moment of creativity in recent years: taking the best of the past, its deep meanings to embellish the present.

– On the other hand there is the hunger for discovery expressed through bright fluorescent colors , destined for a long time to coexist alongside basic colors also in the dress code of the evening gown. In Valentino 's Haute Couture The Begging collection, alongside the rigorous and classic archive pieces there are whimsical neon dresses, eager to be looked at and admired, a photograph of the personality of the wearer. So remember that an elegant dress is not only trendy – transparencies, feathers, ruffles, ruffles – it is the image of your personality.
