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
Let’s start the #hautecouture season in #paris with three powerful shows talking about #readytowear with a #couture approach. Starting with #pacorabanne «From the very origins of Paco Rabanne, there has always been an obsession with materiality, radical textures, non-organic silhouettes» And the new #ss23 collection created by #juliendossena is a clash of latex & metal, chic & punk, underground & bourgeoisie with historical touches and urban attitude And the #readytowear collection is playing with sensuality and strength, a projection of femininity in the face of unknown forces #pacoss23#womenswear#pfw#parisfashionweek
But tonight is the #alaia night with two different moment: the unveiling of the new headquarter-atelier and the disclosure of the new collection created by #pietermulier «More than just an house, a home…Azzedine and Christopher always dreamed of opening their space at 15 Faubourg Saint Honoré We feel honored to achieve this dream and make it real». And the collection is purely #azzedinealaia : rough and real, sexy and dark, couture and seductive, sensual and couture, heartbeats and fascination #alaïaws23 #maisonalaia (slides 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09 and 10)

#dior lands in #losangeles to unveil the new #Diorspring23 capsule collection created by #kimkones and guest designed by #erl the brand by the talented #elirusselllinnetz. “We have worked with lots of different people on our collections, but this time I wanted to work with someone in a different way. I wanted somebody to see Dior from a different angle. With Eli, not only do I like his work but working with a younger designer on Dior men and seeing things from his perspective, felt incredibly inspiring. It was both familiar and revelatory”. The show, in #windward avenue at #venicebeach is a tribute to the city that monsieur #christiandior visited in 1957 but also has some references to the opulent #gianfrancoferre era. “We started looking at Dior archive from the year of my birth, 1991. This was during Gianfranco Ferré’s period as artistic director and was a part of the history of Dior that felt completely fresh for both Kim and me”. #diorerl

Happy bday #valentinogaravani and thanks for being such an inspiring voice during my whole journey in the fashion world. I remember one of the first conversation we have together. «What would I have done if I hadn't become a couturier? Who knows ... it would have been a disaster for anyone who had given me a job», you told me smiling while we are having lunch in the Château de Wideville with your partner in crime #giancarlogiammetti. «I was born a couturier I think ... In my life I could not have done anything else». Let’s toast to the last emperor of fashion and let’s discover the exhibition in #voghera, his hometown: called “VOGHERA VALENTINO - ABITI IN SCENA” is a parade of 36 incredible dresses from the 60s to 2000 to celebrate a true genius #happybirthdaymrv#90yearsofcelebration
