"It's about a metamorphosis. There's a big change going on in these times," said designer Giambattista Valli. No, he's not talking about the economic crisis (although he might as well have been).

What he's referring to is the look for his** Spring 2009 collection** which was shown at the runways of Paris just recently. On the front row are young fashionistas including Emma Watson, Natalie Portman and Caroline Sieber.

Does the line up at the front row seat 'metamorphose' to the youngness of Giambattista Valli's collection?

Check out pics from the collection below, and judge for yourself whether it's for the hip and young crowd:
Based from the evening gowns alone, I can clearly see how the frothy and feminine dresses of Giambattista Valli can appeal to the younger fashion and Hollywood clientele. There were even sack dresses with raised waists – but my personal favorites were the little black dresses which looked like something that Audrey Hepburn would have worn back in the days. All in all, the Giambattista Valli collection consisted of lushly feminine pieces that you can easily imagine worn by the likes of Natalie Portman.
