For the Giambattista woman, daytime is all about high-collared baby-doll
dresses, while evenings are for lavish look-at-me gowns. It’s not wonder that
Valli, as the master of this enviable lifestyle aesthetic, has become a society
favourite around the globe, turning women into modern-day princesses with
feminine layers of tulle, heavy embellishments and flattering cuts. Opting for a
slight style twist, the designer made it a point to keep things short and sweet
this season; hemlines hit well above the knee at the front, even for floor-
sweeping dresses.
