On Tuesday, 23rd May, it was Valentino’s turn to present its Cruise collection. The Artistic Director Pier Paolo Piccioli has chosen New York and its very trendy district Soho for the location of its fashion show. On the catwalk, the freestyle in its romantic version is the theme. When interviewed on the backstage, the designer has summed up the spirit of the Fashion show as the connexion between “the sport and the romance, the Pre-Columbian myths and the hip-hop energy”.
The iconic femininity of Valentino is therefore revisited according to the sportswear codes: each item, while keeping the grace and the delicacy that are emblematic of the Italian brand, takes a gym connotation. The trousers are wide and with side-stripes like the sweatpants, the elegant lace dresses are worn with rubber slippers or with sandals and cotton socks, the maxi-bags are similar to the gym bags.
