As a seasoned gamer who has navigated countless virtual realms, I can confidently say that Alessandro Michele’s debut collection for Valentino was a breathtaking foray into an enchanting new world. It’s like he took the best elements from my favorite RPG games and brought them to life on the runway.
Following what felt like two particularly lengthy years, Alessandro Michele stepped back onto the catwalk on a victorious note this past Sunday, exchanging his Gucci access pass for one from Valentino. This transition was marked by his first show with the prestigious Italian fashion house, held within Paris’ Porte de Chatillon. A noteworthy audience including Harry Styles, Elton John, and Jared Leto gathered in the front row for what promised to be the most captivating moment of Paris Fashion Week. Meanwhile, the fashion world anxiously watched from the periphery of draped loveseats, eager to see how Michele would reinterpret Valentino’s signature styles.
In his Resort collection edit from June (85 pieces), Michele breathed new life into Gucci’s historical archives, focusing on designs from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s. He skillfully modernized these classic styles by incorporating them into contemporary fashion. His tuxedo jackets were fit for a grand ball, while ruffled gowns exuded regal elegance. Men’s tops adorned with pearls drew attention, and the lineup was embellished with decorative bowties, feather-trimmed hats, and crystals to add a touch of flair.
Individually, each gaze exuded a masterfully unique style, skillfully balancing structure and disorder through daring combinations of colors and patterns. Collectively, the ensemble created an entirely fresh Valentino universe populated by various aristocratic, opulent, tantalizing, and formidable personas. It embodied regency fashion at its pinnacle, a blend of classic elegance and modern boldness. Considering all aspects, Michele’s Valentino presentation was a timeless triumph, one that earned a standing ovation.
