An absolutely stunning and ultra rare Valentino black beaded sequin sheer illusion blouse and matching bias-cut skirt set dating back to his epic 2004 spring/summer collection. For over forty years, Valentino has been one of the most prominent names in fashion, creating some of the world's most elegant and classic designs. Well-known clients include Princess Margaret of England, Audrey Hepburn, Jacqueline Kennedy, Julia Roberts and Claudia Schiffer. It was Valentino's desire to design clothes that would celebrate the female form and accentuate a woman's sensuality. Vogue noted that this season, “Valentino perfected methods of seduction”, and this unforgettable set was no exception! Look number 78 modeled by the beautiful Yasmin Warsame, has everything you would look for in Valentino. The blouse itself is super special; the low-cut plunge pleated bust is so alluring. The shoulder straps can be worn with a slight flutter or brought in closer as we modeled. I just love the intricate embroidered floral motif adorned in black sequins and sparkling beads. Black silk ribbon-bows give the rather seductive ensemble a playful touch. There is a front sheer illusion cut-out which draws the eye upward to the bust. The sculpted hourglass bias-cut floor length skirt is equally noteworthy. The construction molds to the body effortlessly and the ultra-high side slit creates even more drama. A special, archival Valentino that will become a forever future.
