For the reveal of its Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2021-2022 collection on July 15^th, 2021, Valentino chose the Gaggiandre at the Arsenale in Venice. The House and Pierpaolo Piccioli exclusively tapped this magical place for its amazingness reflected through the two magnificent shipyards and the large internal dock that were built between 1568 and 1573. To shed the light even more on the beauty of this venue, the fashion show will be held on a functional only set up, without any architectural intervention to the natural frame of the space.

Taking into consideration how iconic, symbolic and rich in cultural assets this piece of heaven is, Valentino continues its journey in the sustainable world paying attention to every detail.
