Luxury house Valentino unveiled its Pre-Fall 2024 collection that combines diverse elements into a unified fashion story. This season, Valentino stays rooted in sartorial tradition while embracing indulgent touches and experimental details, offering a range that includes a spectrum of styles and moods.
The collection features metropolitan looks in a sophisticated palette of navy, gold, and ivory. These pieces blend the dynamism of city life with high fashion elegance, offering a modern and urban sophistication. The fluid gowns in lighter tones and chromatic notes show Valentino’s expertise in creating ethereal, flowing silhouettes that exude romance and elegance. Heavier fabrics in a sobering grey hue, symbolize a more introspective and grounded approach to fashion. These pieces offer a substantial feel in fabric and color, retaining Valentino’s signature elegance and refinement.
Proportion is a key element throughout the collection, exploring a range of silhouettes from hip-high to floor-length. This exploration of proportion blurs traditional lines between masculine and feminine fashion, creating a new dialogue and celebrating the uniqueness of each body. Valentino continues to celebrate diversity, emphasizing freedom and individuality.
The collection respects and challenges traditional sartorial codes. Coats with classic shoulder and sleeve constructions are tailored to a more romantic, tight, and feminine fit. The ordinary is elevated to the extraordinary through bold and daring details.
In accessories, the Valentino Garavani line shines with refined craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. The Pre-Fall 2024 collection introduces new silhouettes and variations on classics like Rockstud Spike, Roman Stud, and Locò. The Valentino Garavani VLogo Moon bag appears in new, versatile variations, while the iconic chain is featured on new silhouettes with diverse functionalities. Shoes adorned with VLogo and Rockstud motifs appear in updated pump and sandal designs. The collection also includes new additions like the Valentino Garavani VLogo Locker mary-jane and formal shoes.
