V-Neck Logo-Plaque Silk Gown

Selfridges Says: Valentino Garavani was first struck by the fashion fever on a trip to watch the opera Carmen as a child, bewitched by the show’s gilded gowns and floral arches. So, it’s no surprise the Roman house’s sumptuous collections have a certain theatricality that crescendos like an elaborate composition. This gown is spun from swathes of liquid-like silk and cascades languidly over your frame to a floor-pooling hem. Then, you’ll spot the label’s unmistakable, gold-toned initial crowning the plunge neckline.

• 100% silk; lining 91% viscose, 9% elastane

Garavani is better known by his mononym, Valentino. From the signature Rockstud leather shoes to richly embellished dresses, knitwear, tailoring and separates, Valentino Garavani pieces are characterised by a bold and playful use of colour and pattern, with a through line of glamour and luxury.
