The Valentino shoes debuted in the Couture 2010 collection come in two distinct groups, the one is a variation of beautiful swirling, layered chiffon in pastel hues, the other a much simpler strappy sandal with bits of bright color. The former is a very elegant shoe, suitable for specific events, and the ladder is a chic sandal that can be worn anywhere and everywhere.

Besides changing the color of the chiffon, designers  Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli also had various colors for the platform and heel. Some even sport a red sole, something that is distinctly NOT Valentino, and seems like a bit of a rip off my man CL. Regardless, the shoe is gorgeous.

The sandals are much simpler and have a discreet swirling cut out design. They are very pretty and chic, but also versatile and can look fabulous with many looks. I predict these will be a big hit this Spring.
