VIVA #VALENTINO #pierpaolopiccioli shown his #couture collection for the #roman fashion house with an incredibile and super emotional event between #trinitadeimonti and #piazzamignanelli where the story of the maison founded by #valentinogaravani and #giancarlogiammetti began And it was MAGICAL! A true homage to #rome and ode to #atelier and craftsmanship but also a stunning celebration of the essence of #hautecoure #valentinothebeginning #fw23 «Beginning is oblivion, hope, freedom and promise. Gestation of future, feverish expectation, uncertainty. A personal story, the conversation with Valentino, how much of him is in me and how much I returned. The exchange, imagined and real, around shapes, proportions, colours. I never felt the need to take anything away before adding my own point of view. The history of Valentino enjoys the absolute privilege of love, the infatuation of anyone who works here. The Show, 23 years in a day, Piazza di Spagna, Rome, the place where there is no time limit because here everything coexist simultaneously. The Atelier, the perpetual genesis, the coordinates in which all our journeys converge, a tree with roots as deep as the underground of this city, where the seamstresses and tailors who understand my gestures as they understood those of Mr Valentino, interweave the plot of each dress with their lives. In Haute Couture there are no paper patterns, no map, no trace except the one left at the bottom of the soul. Nothing more than haute couture is transformed starting from an absolute zero…. This is the Beginning, this is us» said #pierpaolopiccioli in an open letter explaining the concept of this unique show with pieces of #womenswear and #menswear unveiled in front of a stunning first row with #annehathaway #laurapausini #florencepugh #tinakunakey #katehudson #elodie #ashleypark #thesymone or #gigigoode among the others
