Flashback: Valentino 1973 Rockstud

As you may recall from a previous post, Valentino has been dabbling with the use of psychedelic colors (remember the rave-ready Camo Bag Collection?). Well it doesn’t end there. The team over at Valentino are in 70′s mode.

The Valentino Rockstud as is, is a classic beauty. Smooth edges and luxurious calfskin leather combined with timeless hardware The craftsmanship and attention to detail make this a season-less bag. However, I wonder what they were thinking with the 70’s dressing. Not for everyone, I’m sure someone out there will fall for this psychedelic disco color-blocked version.

I do really wanna hear what you guys think! There are so many designers out right now doing the same with the color block trend (ie: Trois-Jour Grande). So I wonder, is this a trend that’s here to stay?
