Valentino fashion designer runway shows

A consummate showman, Michele set out to do Valentino his own way. It was an eyebrow raising location for Valentino, a maison whose bon vivant founder is as famous for his grand homes and yacht as he is for ruffles and the colour red. We were perhaps in one of those stately houses, excavating its hidden treasures or raising ghosts—Michele loves a metaphor, both visual and literal.

Into this atmosphere, Michele sent out 85 looks—modest by the standards of the surprise resort collection he dropped online in June—as eccentric and extraordinary as anything he did for Gucci, but with a lightness, femininity, and exquisiteness of detail that can only be Valentino. His Valentino collection was a rich tapestry of bows, tassels, polka dots, feather boas, and, yes, ruffles, scads of them, erupting from collars and falling in tiers down long A-line gowns.

And then there were the embroideries, lavish and delicate at the same time, and hinting at the promise of the couture collection Michele will present in January. Backstage before the show, in a headily scented dressing room dotted with patterned carpets, Michele was feeling the pressure. The million-dollar question was how the former Gucci creative director would reinterpret the heritage of the Italian house founded in by Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti, who came to show his support.

You May Also Like. To a large extent, Michele had already played his hand with the surprise reveal of his resort collection in June. New for spring was an emphasis on polka dots, a Valentino trademark that Michele had yet to mine. He compared plunging into the Valentino archive to swimming in the ocean, and came out with a torrent of looks — 85 to be precise.
