Wednesday night was the grand opening night of Valentino’s show at Somerset House. Brilliantly curated by Claire Catterall & her team and fantastically Project Managed by Richard Greenwood. Really great use of the space by the designer and the dresses are rather good too. I loved the wigs and some gorgeous pieces. I wore black with metallic stiletto heels.
