"VALENTINO" 2010's Romantic floral lace skirt

"VALENTINO"

2012-2016 Floral lace skirt with lily appliqué

As a Roman couture maison that carries forward exquisite romanticism and refined craftsmanship, VALENTINO presents this exceptional piece with a beautifully designed pattern.

Built upon delicate black lace, the design layers large lily-flower motifs that transition elegantly from cream to pale yellow and then to brown—creating a harmony of romantic radiance and a distinctly modern sense of restraint.

While the material composition is difficult to confirm from the quality-label information, visually this piece is predominantly floral lace with a light, airy translucency. Over it, glossy printed or appliqué-like flower panels are positioned prominently on the front, allowing an antique-style floral motif to emerge within the quiet depth of the black—offering the poetic expression for which VALENTINO is renowned.

The silhouette features a straight, streamlined line that falls neatly from the waist to the hem, with a hint of A-line balance. A side zipper ensures the front design remains undisturbed, beautifully highlighting both the delicacy of the lace and the presence of the large-scale motifs.

Inside, it appears that a thin black woven fabric is layered, creating a finish that offers reassurance when worn while taking advantage of the lace’s characteristic translucency. The stated size is IT38, and the size code for China is 160/62A. Even when styled with compact tops or crisp, tailored shirts, this is a well-proportioned skirt that keeps the lines around the waist and down to the hem elegantly defined.

Regarding the era, based on the VALENTINO S.p.A. indication readable on the care tag, the item number that can be identified as LB3RA1M01EC, Japan’s former JIS-type washing symbols, the Brazilian corporate label, and the absence of modern tags with QR codes or RFID, this piece is considered to date from around 2012 to 2016. While it cannot be confirmed to a specific year or season, it is an especially fitting match for the romantic, meticulous aesthetic during the joint creative director period of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli.

Its appeal lies in the bold way it handles large-scale florals without leaning toward excessive decoration—rather, it tightens the overall look with the quiet depth of black lace. This is particularly recommended for those who wish to bring a couture-like brilliance into everyday life, and for anyone seeking a skirt that becomes the main focus in a simple outfit.

For styling, pairing it with a black high-gauge knit or a plain silk blouse will emphasize the beauty of the pattern. For footwear, pointed-toe pumps or delicate sandals will complete a balance with contemporary tension while preserving a romantic mood.

A piece that lets you enjoy both the delicacy and boldness that are quintessentially VALENTINO, quietly elevating your overall impression. Please take this opportunity.
