Of Grace and Light: Valentino presents Haute Couture Collection
The idea of bringing the show to Cinecitta, Rome's "factory of dreams", led Piccioli to add the concept of the "magic of early cinema", evoking the silent film images with silver sequins and waterfalls with glittering edges.
Throughout history, moments of reset or re-start have always placed human values at the centre. Humanism.
This is one of those moments. The focus on fashion as the deeply human activity of design, forming creations that the body inhabits and brings to life, Pierpaolo Piccioli conceives a new beginning in the space of fifteen silhouettes swinging from trapezes and floating through Knight's digital performance.
Valentino ends the autumn / winter 2020-21 haute couture season with style and the (non-) colour white; as the sum of all the colours in which the radical silhouettes of this collection extend to demonstrate the flawless manual dexterity of its production. The four elements adapt shapes as motifs that are at the same time not real. This is how Valentino's dream of being a dream again comes true. One made possible by the dialogue between man and digitalization.
The physical and digital worlds are thus merged. "In this way, the true values of couture fashion will be unfolded: creativity, imagination and emotion," the Maison said.
