For the S/S 2013 collection, Moncler Gamme Rouge creative director Giambattista Valli embarked us upon a seaside vacation in Positano, Italy. The clothing, a mix of conceptual water wear, came in white, as well as in photo prints of water and synchronized swimmers. As befitting for a Valli vacation collection, the hems were short, the shapes were voluminous, with a ruffle here and there, and many pieces were covered densely with signature floral embroideries. Overall, one of the fresher collections we saw in Paris, no doubt breaking us from the confines of traditional Ready-to-Wear.
