Summary: The 'soft iridescent color palette and fluid ripples of nature's shells were the source of inspiration for Carmen Marc Valvo according to his program. The designer is known for his signature shutter pleating which is universally flattering. Valvo understands how to properly showcase a woman's figure and it's not by adding a lot of extra frills and appliques. His work is best when he sticks to a single color, but plays with texture. He showcased some of his best work for spring '08.
