Giambattista Valli is to debut as an official couturier

in Paris, after he was awarded the couture appellation by Paris' Fédération Française de la Couture.

The Italian-born designer, who showed his first couture collection earlier this year in July, was previously only a guest member of the calendar.

Designers are typically only given the official appellation after they have showed couture for five years, but the Federation decided that the standard of Valli's work made him eligible early for the prestigious honour.

The Spring Summer 2012 couture collections will be shown in Paris from January 23rd-26th.
