VALENTINO FALL 2013 HAUTE COUTURE COLLECTION

I am a huge fan of Valentino's Rockstud collection. I also cannot help but be mesmerized by the designers take on luxe fabrics styled in an uber edgy and uber traditional way. Always recognisable and interesting. AND always beautiful.
But the above look from their fall 2013 haute couture collection is something else.
To me the overuse of lace as well as the super display of the 'body beautiful' does not seem to mesh well. Where is the edit here? 
From the top to maximum the waist this look could have worked with a Jil Sander-esque full Valentino-red skirt in duchesse silk. But this all-over tattoo print lace look is too much.
