Valerian Hughes : Urban Lady The designer Valerian Hughes presented his spring/summer ready to wear collection VH by Valerian Hughes, on Friday 30th of September in the cozy ambiance of 61 rue de la Boetie, in Paris 8eme. For this new Spring-Summer collection, Valerian was inspired by the Urban Lady, a modern and sophisticated woman who, as a chameleon, adapts her outfit to the different situations of her day life. Valerian presented a collection of indispensable pieces for modern and timeless dressing. All this is reflected in the female silhouettes and dazzling whites, connoting the morning freshness of spring for sophisticated trench-coats or suits in spotless white silk satin. To renew with the sweetness of summer, the collection declines outfits with more pastel shades like champagne, hazel, light pink and grey. The young couturier innovates in subtlety by adding details on some bi-material blouses and by creating slightly transparent tops with some very low-cut. He designed various bi-coloured dresses in muslin and played with the transparency of materials, which worked to highlight the complexion of the skin. The fluidity of fabrics reveals the airy look of a city-dweller woman. For example a pink sylph-like skirt transmits the lightness of a woman, while keeping an elegant line, continuing in a little spotted white dress in muslin. Follow, some more raw materials with earthy glints, some khaki, some taupe for more casual pieces, like shorts or cargo pant, leather skirt or a safari jacket, in cotton and leather. This colour pallet is punctuated by denim pieces and a very structured blue jacket with some basques in the back and a turn-up collar which give a touch of originality. For her evenings, Valerian produced black dresses, spangled version, one is short, the other one is long, more "femme fatale" and even a bronze close-fitting and bright slim illustrating sensual woman. The clean, the sobriety and the refinement of the details bear the hallmark of Valerian Hughes.
