Parting is such sweet sorrow, as was demonstrated by Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri with their romantic final collection together for Valentino, before Chirui departs for Dior. With the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death also in mind, the design duo dove deep into Elizabethan themes for haute couture Fall 2016 with high collars, capes, and brocades abound.
