Signature Valentino ruffles and bows have always made my inner girl extremely happy. The signature Valentino price has ensured that I only have one piece of Valentino clothing (a deal of a lifetime Valentino silk jacket). With the launch of Valentino for Gap, I can stock up on my Luxing it on the Cheap (LOTC) Valentino items more easily (well easiest if I was in Europe since this collection is only in England and Italy).
The collection is available on November 27 and does not disappoint the ruffle loving lady. I am lusting after the sportswear gone chic pieces in this collection. Valentino designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli insert feminine tailoring into the most unlikely of materials – cotton canvas. The results are neutral, fun safari chic looks that can be worn every day.
I especially love the bow skirt (£69.95) and short ruffled jacket (£119.95) – ultimately feminine and timeless.
The hoodie (£89.95), cargo pants (£99.95), and parka (£149.95) are also definitely unique and fun though maybe a little too funky for me.

These items will be available in the Milan flagship (it was already there since Nov. 20), London flagship, Colette Paris, and Dover Street Market in London.
What do you think of this collection?

WHAT?!?! I didn’t know about this! Looks like I’ll have to be taking a little trip real soon 🙂
Happy Tuesday!
I think its cool how they merged Valentino ruffle with Gap cotton, however I’ve yet to find a collab collection I would actually line up for. I almost snagged myself a wristband for the Lanvin at H&M but I was late for a hair appt and really couldn’t be bothered with the line.
Valentino on the cheap?! I’ve been living under a rock! Thank goodness I’m not in London this winter – I would have to hide my wallet forever. Mmm, that bow skirt…
I love the pants in the last picture!
Adorable! I only have one Valentino item too – my wedding shoes, which were a complete splurge. I can’t wait to wear them again at this year’s holiday parties. This collection is fantastic 🙂
Holy wow, I love all the ruffles!
I love all the ruffles… but whether I would like to buy it for that price… mmmm I rather save up and get a mulberry bag for christmas lol!

@Lauren – I heard that they are only releasing it in Europe to commemorate the opening of the Gap store in Milan (so I guess even London and Paris are lucky to sell them) Boo for those in US and Asia!
That jacket is so cute! xo
