Valentino took a contemporary stride down memory lane this Sunday, returning to Les Beaux-Arts, the prestigious art school where founder Valentino Garavani once studied.

Designer Pierpaolo Piccioli’s collection was a vivid “celebration of femininity and creativity.” Bursting onto the scene were fresh, sporty minidresses adorned with intricate white florals and foliage. The elegance of an open tuxedo baring flesh, and the simplicity of flowing silk caped dresses made a statement, but there was a sense of familiarity. A pastel gray cape minidress captured attention with its minimalist charm. A chainmail disco mesh-dress shimmered and revealed inches of body.
While Piccioli’s designs were a testament to Valentino’s evolving aesthetic, some elements felt reminiscent of past collections or even lacking in fresh ideas, a criticism that’s been leveled by critics at the designer in the past. Nonetheless, spring marked a beautiful blend of the brand’s intrinsic elegance and a desire to pare down styles to their essentials.
The shimmer of glossy leather corsets contrasted with the ethereal shredded gossamer skirts, while other designs teased at deconstruction, with trailing embroidery and dripping silver organza that echoed McQueen’s rebellious early days.
