Following Alessandro Michele’s departure from Gucci, it was announced that the designer would be taking his talents to Valentino this past March. To everyone’s surprise, the designer unexpectedly released Valentino’s Resort 2025 offering this week, marking his debut collection for the house.
Fusing 60s and 70s style with some of Valentino’s core codes, the new collection demonstrates Michele’s maximalist signature. Spanning 171 looks, the collection echoes some of the designer’s work at Gucci and is a clever departure from Pierpaolo Piccioli’s Valentino.
