Behind each couture collection is a spellbinding story that encapsulates whimsy, fantasy and inventiveness of epic proportions. When each designer sets out to masterfully display his or her creations, we are transported to a world that knows no bounds, no limitations and where even the grandest of dreams can come true. 

Giambattista Valli happens to be one of the couturiers that is pushing the bounds with his artistry, vision and unmistakable craftsmanship for gowns that are otherworldly—his use of fabrics, textures, sublime color combinations have helped to solidify his couture house.
