Valentino Mens Spring 2009
Under the new lead, Ferruccio Pozzoni, Valentino is going after a young clientele interested in dressing up. And his latest collection was nothing if not dressy like the checked jean jacket over a shawl-collared, double-breasted waistcoat and a stock-tied shirt.
But if Valentino himself increasingly leaving his focal pieces with jeans and T-shirts and go the way of cream canvas cotton suit as a casual new version of evening wear.
As a side note Valentino made his big screen debut in Venice in August as the new documentary film charting his career, Valentino: The Last Emperor, enjoyed its premiere. Dubed “King of Couture” – followed by a film crew headed up by director Matt Tyrnauer, a writer for Vanity Fair between June 2005 and July 2007. This follows on the heels of the Karl Lagerfeld documentary, Lagerfeld Confidential as well as the Marc Jacobs film, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton.

A jeans jacket in subtle checks way cool. His coats are beautifully tailored. The shoes (white and brown ones – with luck your dog will chew up at least one of them. The shoes and the pictured sleeve are elegant. I’d expect the guy wearing these to be driving at least a beamer.

With the one exception of the shoes in white, all these are classy. A guy could go the boardroom in these suits and follow up with going to a female board member’s bedroom out of them later on in the day. HHee

The lighting is superior in these ads. I do love the clothes and shoes as well. The concept of showing them on mannequins and hangers does not show them off as well as on live models though.

Those shoes look funny with shoelaces that don’t tie. The suit that looks like a jean jacket is kewl. I like the row of buttons on some of the sleeves too. But the raincoat looks like a woman should wear it.

A white suit … not to sure about that but I like the casual style – it’s a suit but doesn’t look like one.

In my opinion, none of these suits looks like mens clothing.
