There must be something in the water.

Hollywood has been quite inspirational for several designers this season. The most recent designer to fall under its spell is Carmen Marc Valvo, citing Elizabeth Taylor’s “BUtterfield 8” specifically.

As you’d expect, there were beautiful dresses mainly in dual satin, which has enough body to add a sculptural element. Valvo is in love with the illusion lace under a ruffle look for his strapless gowns. It was pretty-pretty, with no edge.
