With Valentino Resort 2017 we, or to be strictly more accurate Mariagrazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, have flown to Cuba and returned with a big collection of souvenirs and influences. This metaphorical journey has morphed into a collection that is rather like a collage. Full of the different flavours of an intrinsically contaminated place. Pieces of Africa, Spain, the 50’s and America.
The latest iconic leaders that the duo have introduced come with surprising lightness. First of all the lightness of the soul, then the lightness of the embroidered tulle dresses, prints, lace, batik and soft camouflage jackets. Once again, fashion is in step with the times and the designers have recourse to the same influences. Just as Mr Obama and Raul Castro were busy with their historic handshake, relaxing old rivalries between their countries, then Karl was busy in Havana too, presenting his new collection, just a month ago.
Valentino resort 2017 from icy dancers to the colorful Cuban
It seems that Alessandro Michele’s emotional maps are making inroads again – not only in the heart of journalists, buyers editors and fans. Every single look by Valentino Resort 2017 is many things combined. The game is all about styling. Made of luxury, of course. A mix & match that seems far removed from the image of integrity and the rigour of the past, but it’s even cooler thanks to the many possible declinations.
The days when fashion catwalk clothing was out of the reach of ordinary, everyday people are gone. There are prints that, as sophisticated graphic reinterpretations – the Cuban white lily in this case – could end up in the wardrobe of many.
The goal may have become to create small desires that are graspable and then express them in ways and looks that could be replicated many times over with different combinations. There are tips, ideas and suggestions that we can recreate with low cost pieces.
A dense collection the Valentino Resort 2017, but definitely very ready-to-wear
Colour density, prints and emotional peaks. A taste that has refreshed the Valentino that our grandparents would remember!
But what is this fashion trip pointing out? Creating iconic pieces or wishing to be a wishes machine? It’s definitely the second for Instagrammers all around the world. But maybe that’s the funny part: the sublimation of personal style. Today styling Valentino’s as Gucci will… and tomorrow ??? who knows!
