For its Cruise 2021 collection, Valentino went with simplification to express freedom of interpretation and movement. With this in mind, shapes were reduced to an elementary outline, letting the pieces speak through their colors, texture and lines. The mastery of cut is revealed through flat geometric shapes that redefine the purity of design.
Versatility is at the heart of this collection. Regardless of the way the pieces are assembled, each one of them gains its personal meaning when worn – proving that abstraction augments purposefulness. Colors add fluidity to the mix. Solid and vibrant, they take over tunics, tops, trousers and capes.
As for the Valentino Garavani accessories, they have a world of their own. Think Atelier Bags and Atelier Shoes adorned with flowers, bows, studs in leather or straw and hats – which are developed in collaboration with Borsalino – add their own charm to the discourse.
