Valentino’s Spring-Summer 2020 menswear collection can be described as nothing short of a masterpiece tailored for the modern-day explorer. Pierpaolo Piccioli’s intricate designs and captivating embroidery work elevate each garment to a new level of haute-couture sophistication, making them a must-have for global wanderers.
The collection is a visual representation of venturing beyond physical boundaries and delving into the uncharted territories of the mind. With psychedelic prints featuring surreal landscapes of tropical trees and roots intertwining with clouds, Piccioli pays homage to the artistic vision of Roger Dean, creating a truly mesmerizing aesthetic.
Adding a playful twist to the collection are mosaic-style pop-monsters and whimsical lizard motifs adorning parkas and djellabas, alongside abstract camouflages in unexpected sherbet hues. The exquisite embroidered wool pieces showcasing creatures like lobsters, owls, and eagles on tunics and caftans add a touch of whimsy and fantasy to the collection.
A standout feature of the collection is the innovative sneakers crafted by Pierpaolo’s design team, featuring unique designs that harmonize perfectly with the ethos of the collection. The absence of traditional suits showcases Piccioli’s boldness and willingness to challenge conventional fashion norms, setting a new trend in the industry.
By choosing Pink Floyd’s iconic ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ as the soundtrack for the show, Piccioli created a sensory experience that perfectly encapsulated the essence of this groundbreaking collection. The fusion of music, art, and fashion at the Grand Palais showcased Piccioli’s ability to bring a fresh, innovative perspective to the runway, leaving a lasting impression on all who witnessed the spectacle.
