Join the Fashion Elites with Valentino Menswear as seen on Suga of BTS, Pedro Pascal and Jacob Elordi on 16 June at Milan Fashion Week 2023.
After a three-year hiatus, Valentino Menswear returns to unveil The Valentino Narratives Menswear show, which will take place on 16 June 2023 at the Università degli Studi di Milano Statale in the city of Milan.
Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli’s decision to showcase the collection on the first day of Milano Fashion Week, amidst the bustling ambience of the Università, is a gracious invitation for students to witness the spectacle. This serves as a rare opportunity for young fashion enthusiasts to bask in the luxurious world of the Maison, which epitomises exceptional craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail, and a revolutionary spirit. Such a dynamic exchange of creativity promises to inspire the next generation of innovators in the industry.
Redefining its roots, it is expected that Pierpaolo Piccioli will resignify the codes of menswear, but not without a nod to the past. It was in Milan, after all, in January 1985, that Mr Valentino Garavani staged his very first menswear show. This visionary decision to give menswear its own spotlight forever elevated the category while also weaving the budding codes of Valentino menswear with the essence of Milan. Now, with that initial spark firmly in mind, Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli will redefine what was started here, pushing the boundaries of modern menswear in a more contemporary and opulent direction while furthering the bounds of formalwear.
This season, the Maison has disrupted its traditional co-ed show model and placed an exclusive focus on menswear, elevating it to a singularly powerful moment. While still in conversation with womenswear, menswear has been given the spotlight, symbolising Piccioli’s bold and pioneered move of redefinition of masculine codes. This decision also highlights the growing significance of the category within the Maison’s business branch, which is led by CEO Jacopo Venturini.
As Valentino menswear’s importance builds over the seasons, we can expect to see more innovative and progressive designs with the trademark Valentino red, rosso Valentino, and the unity of fashion and art.
The Valentino The Narratives Menswear show will be presented as part of Milan Fashion Week and will be streamed live on Valentino.com and through the Maison’s social channels.
