That is what I'm afraid of.

Just because Sabato isn't working out at Gucci doesn't mean that Michele didn't need to go.

I'm not sure rehiring him to do Valentino is such a great idea.

I get what you mean, i understood the pictures will be released after women's show (If not leaked before) , but yes it's really hippy chic nerds and borrowing from grand pa and ma closet etc, in a way when Hedi did his Celine first show it was his Saint Laurent with a Celine label in side the clothes same effect , i guess designers want to keep their signature like ToM Ford starting his label its his Gucci style that he continued with.

Maybe next collections will have more of a Valentino twist in the end Hedi went more life style /French idea of sports wear for the modern rich woman /girl for Celine bit closer to the original idea of the brand.

I think the pieces accessories especially on themselves could sell well because there is allot more items and different moods, i think that was the success with his Gucci as well anyone could find something and add to basic wardrobe everyday pieces and its clearly Gucci and now will be clearly Valentino.

The styling is what makes it to close to past was the main comments, i heard from buyers but they bought into the bags as they can be used for woman and the logo branding stuff for more masc /pop shoppers easy target merch all big brands do.

First Look at Alessandro Michele’s Debut Collection for Valentino

So nothing really that different from his Gucci then. Got it. And I hate it.

171 is also a lot of looks, even for a co-ed collection.

 

[THD96]

Open the link, see 171 looks, close the link.

It's Monday, nobody got time for this. Thank you every much.

Miss gurl really works hard for that paycheck.

so it’s back to 2016
Wished he’d done something different.

 

[FashionFanatico]

Thank the gods he didn't make it to Fendi.

First Look at Alessandro Michele’s Debut Collection for Valentino

It’s literally his Gucci with a V wtf

 

[PierreGotha]

171 looks that continue the vision of his Gucci era. Alessandro went autopilot on this one and If he continues with this. He's shaping up to be a one-trick pony.

VUCCI

 

[youthinasia]

Oh boy, this is going to be a very interesting ride

 

[lookatme]

Um wow. That’s very embarrassing for him.

I was expecting his debut in September... not that soon
I was hoping he would at least give us his take on Valentino's 70s, not a direct copy of his Gucci

1970

1971


1977


Marc Jacobs Spring 2020 (What I was expecting from Michele...)

 

[TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu]

Despite this being a direct copy of his Gucci, the products are insanely beautiful and well-made
All the shoes and bag look so good compared to Sean, Sabato and Demna's offering

After yesterday's JW super lazy repeats, I am genuinely speechless looking at all the detailed photos from this collection on Vogue Runway. Every bag, every shoe in every look is different, just the incredible amount of workload, I am in awe!!!!!

I’ve almost made it through all 171 photos & all I can hear is Kanye’s voice in my head going “I like some of the AM designs but wtf does he know about Valentino?”
