"Palette of bubblegum pink film"

Stills from making 'The Enclave' for the Irish Pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale by Richard Mosse. Mosse employs 16mm colour infrared film to render the invisible visible; his subject matter: footage shot in the Congo centered around the 'invisible war' / ongoing humanitarian crisis.

Valentino Haute Couture Fall 2014

Empire line, sweetheart necklines, dipped back gowns of heavy damask silk and spiderweb lace. Bubbling pearl sea foam and encrusted beaded arterial coral, embroidered full length bed jackets spliced with applique, fur and gold foil. Brocade, ermine, velvet, boiled wool, tweed, latticework lace. Conté sketches and seemingly heavy upholstery brocades rendered entirely in miniature beads.
 

Yet another achingly beautiful, angelic, princess fairy tale collection from Valentino.
