Pierpaolo Piccioli changes register and with the new collection he chooses a story that: &quot;Photographs the real contemporary&quot;, between simple lines and essential constructions, discreet decorations and touches of art in the capsule created with Inez &amp; Vinoodh. Without gender distinction and with a delicate punk aftertaste. The only indulgence is the bags resulting from the Valentino Garavani atelier bag project.

&laquo;I am not interested in the genders or categories of people, I am not interested in age or size ... We are simply human. With this collection I wanted to write a message of inclusiveness that would break down any type of barrier &raquo; . Pierpaolo Piccioli once again chooses the catwalk to write his seasonal verb. And while the air of the tensile structure is cut by Billie Eilish&#39;s notes , played live by a refined orchestra, the catwalk comes alive with the new Valentino . In the seasonal mood board, images by August Sander and works by Marlene Dumas, New wave shots by Annie Lennox and fragments of punk culture, romantic flowers portrayed by Inez &amp; Vinoodh and Grace Jones transformed into a goddess by Jean-Paul Goude . Next to the runway order which for the first time sees men and women together in a succession of feminine looks punctuated by some masculine outfits, in a conversation of genres that becomes fluid and delicately romantic. The only indulgence, amidst a penalty staves, the accessories or better the bags (the shoes have important soles and mimic a certain martial gait). The bags, exhibited on the chest like a medal, are the result of the Valentino Garavani atelier bag project and recall historical models with delicate constructions of overlapping leather petals. That same romantic thought knots the looks that tread the catwalk and that tell of an androgynous and rigorous modernity. &quot;I would like to continue my discussion on inclusiveness by photographing the reality that is around me, to us, to everyone,&quot; added Piccioli. &laquo;I chose to be a fashion designer, a job that invites and, in a certain sense, obliges you to take on responsibilities. And what I wanted to do is a portrait of today without categories. Fashion must record the change that the world is experiencing, embracing and encouraging tolerance and equality &quot; . And the responsible thinking of Piccioli is unveiled on the platform, punctuated by the 90 looks that tread the catwalk. In a conversation that brings together Maria Carla Boscono and Lara Stone, Kaia Gerber and Adut Akech but also Jill Kortleve and Leon Dame, to sanction a multifaceted puzzle of beauty. I wear an existentialist wardrobe. Shrouded in twilight black or sartorial gray, interspersed with dark skin or fluid silks, ready to indulge in some transparency and some delicate construction. With romantic details of giant flowers, evening glints of fluid crystals and some architectural ruffles that gives lightness to a rigorous whole. And then that red, passion and strength that stands out powerfully in a nocturnal symphony. To remember the story of a maison increasingly interpreting a contemporaneous mutation. Transformed, by Piccioli, into an important voice in the modern conversation about inclusiveness.
