Entitled “Un Château”, Valentino’s Haute Couture Collection for Fall/Winter 2023-2024 doesn’t belong to a specific place or era. It’s a representation of the idea of life through which Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli celebrated beauty, uniqueness and freedom. In this concept, he also discovered the resemblance between a château and an Haute Couture collection, as in their complexity, pure simplicity can be found.

This is the exact idea that was translated into clothes revolving around contemporary sensibilities and modern realities. Therefore, the designs came remarkably simple, moving with every movement of the body and crafted to follow its forms, while seams were reduced, fabrics lightened and decorations abstracted. In line with this minimalized maximalism, liberating flat shoes accompanied the flowing garments, and quotidian pieces became exceptional – think t-shirts transformed into ballgowns, vintage Levi’s® 501 XX Big E jeans morphing into canvas for gilded embroidery, and denim constructed from a painstaking trompe l’oeil of beadwork.

This emblematic duality between the grandeur of such an interior and the freedom of nature was the theme explored during this journey, as Piccioli transformed the château he had in mind into an arena for the amplification of ideas.
