VALENTINO’s SS18 collection is something other-worldly. With designs that come from the extraordinary Pierpaolo Piccioli who has overseen Valentino’s creative direction for eight years, this collection mainly focuses on RTW and practicality – to an extent where it’s virtually avant-garde.
With sparkly and shimmery clothing that contrast the standards of normal daytime wear, garments included long maxi dresses, tunic dresses, high necks and shirts, with short sleeves and long sleeves, modest yet alluring.
Patterns of spots, stripes and florals decorated the garments made from silks, sequins and more materials which contrasted the block colours of reds, blacks, pinks and corals.
