This metamorphosis also unravels on the runway, where Valentino's collection champions the ethos of Couture - the craft, the expertise, and the power of the unique individual. This philosophy manifests in garments that mirror contemporary realities, sartorial renditions reflecting modern sensibilities through a minimalistic approach that amplifies meaning.
These simplified yet significant pieces flow seamlessly with the body, their streamlined forms and minimalist seams embodying an elegant, precise focus. The collection infuses past ideals with present attitudes, lighting up fabrics, abstracting decorative memories, and presenting a surreal imitation of the baroque. The clothes embody a sense of paused motion, offering a moment for reflection and admiration.
Humanity, often on the periphery, takes center stage in Piccioli's vision. Garments express individual emotions and human feelings with instinctive spontaneity. Everyday items gain importance, with t-shirts becoming ballgowns, vintage Levi’s® 501 XX Big E jeans transformed into canvases for gilded embroidery.
