Valentino delivered a spectacular show in Rome on Friday night. After a detour to Venice last year, the luxury house owned by the Qatari investment fund Mayhoola went back to its roots.

The first look was inspired by the Fiesta dress created in 1956 by the founding designer - Valentino

The company unveiled its Fall/Winter 2022-2023 haute couture collection entitled 'The Beginning' in the heart of the Italian capital, between the centrally located Spanish Steps and Piazza Mignanelli, where the historic palace occupied by the fashion house is located and where it held its fashion shows in the past. A total of 102 silhouettes were unveiled in front of 700 guests.

VALENTINO THE BEGINNING

This collection depicts the idea of beauty heralded, supported, and fostered by Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli, here and now. An idea that makes central what was once peripheral, that turns into protagonists those who, once, did not even have supporting roles, that seeks glamor in what is imperfect and far from the canon. An idea that broadens the spectrum of beauty.

"I wanted to show a different interpretation of Valentino's romanticism, with more lightness. In this collection everything is linked to movement," said the designer to a handful of journalists.

“ROMA IS THE PLACE WHERE EVERYTHING STARTS, THE LIFE, THE PEOPLE, OUR STORIES, AND IDENTITIES ARE HERE. WE BELONG TO THIS PLACE AS MUCH AS THIS PLACE BELONGS TO THE WORLD AND TO VALENTINO.”
