In a salon considered in Valentino’s world as a cultural milieu, the act of creation is celebrated in the most magnificent of ways. Bearing witness to real beauty, the crowd watched the Maison’s Haute Couture collection for Spring-Summer 2024 redefine reality through Pierpaolo Piccioli’s perspective of modern couture garments that belong to today’s wardrobe.
Entitled “Le Salon”, the collection is deeply rooted in modern life – exploring synchronic contrasts of color, texture and essential meaning through each of its looks. It ignites the imagination and inspires emotion through its unexpected juxtapositions, and as the outfits become paradoxical, bringing together pragmatism and fantasy, they evoke a freedom of expression synonymous with a love of true fashion. Standing as a true testament of Haute Couture being an obsessive quest for perfection, jewelry takes the form of infinite ribbons of gold twisted around the body, crafted from textiles that create through technique the illusion of exotic skins, fur and feathers.
In times obsessed with everything artificial, Valentino shows us through this collection the real. In the Maison’s lexicon, technique invents new actualities, fabrics are magically lightened and materiality is transformed. In this magical place of Place Vendôme, we experienced humanity through this fascinating collection and most importantly, explored the heart of Haute Couture.
