Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Donna Karan did a safari-theme last season in New York, and this feels like it was inspired by the same vacation, or something.

This is what Lady Mary would wear if she'd been ordered to take a Nile Cruise as part of recovering from her grief, and she needed PJs.

This wants to be lovely, but it just isn't flattering.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Sad Tudor Princess.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Helen Mirren should line that and wear the HELL OUT OF IT everywhere she goes.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Fancy Old Sleepwear appears to be popular this year.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
We will definitely see this on someone. It just feels like Anne Hathaway or... somebody equally long and lean.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
I think... I want this to be better than it is.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Lord help us all.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
SWINTON help us all.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Holy naked hellfire.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
The cape is fun, on the right person. Capes ARE all the rage right now, after all. Part of me thinks Sarah Jessica Parker should bust this out, but she might look too severe in it, somehow.

When Staplers Get Bored, Sleeves Are Made.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
That's kind of awesome. Adele would wear a knee-length version of that, I think.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
A lot of these nude ones are lovely, theoretically, but will rise or fall based ENTIRELY on the wearer and the styling.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
This feels half-assed, which is sad, because someone poor person probably put his/her whole ass into it.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
That's interesting, but I wish it didn't split up to her pelvis.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Quite gorgeous. Pop quiz: Will someone wear it backward?
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Tres Jolie, no?
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
That has dreamy potential.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
This just feels kind of pointless to me. It's there, it's see-through, it's... whatever.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Poor old Adam down there looks really, really confused about why he's here. And he's right.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
I feel like this is the evil avian version of stuff we've already seen.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
And then we're back to hideous safari cartoons.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
This makes me think of Bjork's swan.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
That looks like a snake has seized her. But surprisingly, it's in a way that I don't mind.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
That bird is like, "YOU WILL LEAVE ME OVER MY DEAD BODY."
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
There's some beauty in that coat, but I really do hate the dumb animal cartoons lurking everywhere. They look like bad bedroom decals.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Emma Thompson likes a funky coat, right? Yeah.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
La la la tablecloth.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
And then, like, a random awesome office outfit, for people who have shitbags of money.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
This is also very posh, even though it could double for a lovely winter blanket under your duvet.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Lace pants can burn. BURN.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
This looks like a creature from Harry Potter sneezed all over her.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
And, more safari. It's about as on-the-nose as the time Lauren Conrad did a show that was Paris-inspired in which the models wore berets.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
I love the idea of incorporating sheet music. I just wish it was happening in a different way.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
That really does look like someone bought it in a bazaar and just... tapered it.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
I guess that's one way to reimagine the chastity belt.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Nipples and capes. Strange bedfellows.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
There were also about four or five of these really staid robes, almost like Valentino is also going through a monk phase.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Just prowlin'. As you do.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
Props to that model for carrying off the dress -- I mean, when there are like six faces on your person in addition to your own, that is hard.
Valentino : Runway - Paris Fashion Week - Haute Couture S/S 2014
I wish I were tall and cool enough to wear a long coat like that.
