Renowned for the unique details he incorporates into eveningwear,
Carmen Marc Valvo built upon this trademark for his Spring 2009 collection, choosing to focus on one detail in particular- the square. Body-con woven ribbon dresses, gorgeous metallic leather square skirts, eye-catching patent square sequin appliques, and geometric basket woven details transformed pretty dresses into show-stopping numbers, and swimsuits were given the square treatment as well. Taking a break from the rigidity of the square shape, black microfiber twisted jersey dresses added fluidity to the collection with the perfect balance of draping and tailoring, and a pair of pleated trousers ensured that Valvo's signature elegance will travel from ballroom to boardroom in style.
