A beautiful partnership

What torture you reap Mr. Garavani. By di rigueur you force me to a life of eating canned Tesco tuna for the unforeseeable future.

Just when the excitement of the Lanvin for H&M settled, Valentino goes and rains-no, storms all over Lanvin's hitherto headlining parade with a Gap collaboration to mark the high-street store's arrival to Italy.



The diffusion of these two celebrated fashion messiahs has bred seven articles, creating couture looks with a contemporary attitude.

Brimming with military-inspired garb, as well as Valentino's signature ruffles and bows, the unique silhouettes and fabrics of this collection with an over-arching Olive trend  are true to the Italian's feminine mantra.

Most coveted are creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli's reinventions of the parka, with three-dimensional ruffles and a choice of varied lengths.

Other garments include a tiered skirt, cargo trousers with frilled pockets and a powdery grey bow t-shirt.

The limited edition Valentino for Gap will be available this Saturday, November 27 at Gap's flagship store in Oxford Street from 9.30am, and at Dover Street Market from 11am. 

So get pitching those tents on Friday troops, it's going to be a long but well-worthy wait.
