Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri were appointed co-designers of Valentino in 2008, having previously designed accessories for the company. Many of the details seen in this dress—ruffles, the use of black and white, and its ladylike adornment—are elements for which the house of Valentino has long been known.
