At 1:00 p.m. in the city of Paris, the Valentino Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2022 fashion show took place. An ode to beauty in all its forms. The Showwhich has seen the models walk through one of the iconic buildings of the Place Vendôme, has been broadcast live with great anticipation. Under the name “Anatomy of Sewing”, Pierpaolo Piccioli has proven (again) to be one of the unbeatable masters of the moment.
The models, of different sizes, ages and genders (with names like Mariacarla Boscono or Jill Kortleve), have gone down a beautiful staircase that has given way to some images of the backstage. In them, we have seen make-up artists, seamstresses or stylists in full action. A nod to each of the professionals who “hide” behind the scenes and that make the magic of Haute Couture a reality.
On the firm’s Instagram account, they point out that this proposal “challenges the rules and constructions of Sewing, eliminating idealization and rewriting processes.”
In reference to the collection, Piccioli has captured a wide variety of designs: from models with a sculptural soul and vivid colors (such as the most intense fuchsia or vitamin C orange) to dresses with straight lines with a low neckline. off-the-shoulders bathed in a timeless black. To this we add betting on the trend cut outthe large ruffles and the feathers in their most sophisticated version.
The sensuality signed by Valentino is dressed in sequins, neon gauze, silk and elegant transparencies. the mythical theme Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door has served as the finishing touch for a fashion festival that has reminded us that Haute Couture is a little piece of heaven on earth.
