This is a great little set that somehow manages to walk the line between sweet and sexy. It is more recent Valentino from the Pierpaolo era and I love it.
Both pieces are made out of a nubby wool and silk brocade that has a bit of a cross check pattern work into the texture. The colour is that fantastic pink that Pierpaolo help to define as a colour associated with the Valentino label while he was at the label. The top is a simple bandeau style with wide straps in the same fabric that curve up and over each shoulder. The height of the bandeau is kept deliberately to be very tiny. Even for the very small busted this is giving minimal coverage. It also leaves a wide expanse of skin showing between it and the skirt. The skirt has the feel of a classic skater skirt. The waist is banded and there is a pretty enamel gold and pink V at the front. The skirt flares out tremendously from there and has a bright pink lining that shows when you move. It is almost micro mini length and it has pockets. Original tags attached. Excellent condition
Both pieces are fully lined in a pink. The top closes with a zipper at the side and the skirt has a hidden side zipper. Original tags are attached to the skirt. Both pieces are tagged a modern Valentino 40.
