Valentino goes on a primitive journey at Paris Fashion Week

PARIS - Models at the Valentino show strutted down the catwalk at Paris Fashion Week to the sound of beating drums in the Italian fashion house's 2016 Spring/Summer African-themed collection that took a journey back to the beginning of time. Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, creative directors at Valentino, featured slit skirts in black, brown and red, plenty of fringe, beading, tie-dyed loose-fitting pants and long, flowing dresses. Paris Fashion Week ends on Oct. 7.
