Valentino: A Master of Couture: Somerset House



As embellishment has become a key element of my work, I felt that it would be beneficial for me to visit the Valentino exhibition at somerset house. 

Some of the key ideas are as follows:

-Heavy beading on sheer fabrics.
-Embellishment fading to nothing.
-Embellished details such as cuffs and collars.
-Fading from a heavily embellished area to nothing.
-The transition from a sequinned area to something contrasting, for example tubes of chiffon woven together.
