I almost forget there is a Velentino show.

 

[blackcherrified]

Even before the show begins, I am already turned off by the red lightings

If the clothes need such theatrics to “promote,”then perhaps Alessandro Michele should reevaluate his design choices

Any idea if we are getting another 200-page show notes this round?

 

[Blaiseybabey]

Jesus that sound of flushing the toilet....

 

[proseccotabis]

what in the name of psychotic-Demna-Balenciaga style is this

 

[blackcherrified]

Is that Balenciaga? Saint Laurent (the triple bows top)? Tisci’s Givenchy (the sheer lace)? I am looking at?

Bad. This is bad. I am sorry that Lana soundtrack wouldn’t save the clothes

 

[Blaiseybabey]

Ok, I may know too little about Valentino's archives...but why does it feel so much like Gucci to me? I really start to question whether my perception of his aesthetic is too bound to his Gucci... is it just my impression?

Even if I see Gucci, it's his "mid-late" Gucci which I've never been a fan of.

 

[TianCouture]

if you have to force it, it is probably sh*t. which is the reason this was shown in a bathroom, because this collection is sh*t.

 

[JohannesL]

It is almost the same stuff with different setting！He is so confident in his asthetics makes me disillusion about the profitability of his tenure.

 

[Salvatore]

I am so curious with Mr Valentino thinks about this collection, show, and AM in general. I don't know how long he is going to last here, but I hope not too long.

I miss Valentino being « pretty » !

As an on-and-off Valentino customer I am OFFENDED by that lilac turtleneck lace bodysuit with the unhooked pubic closure and having the flaps dangling in front of the v and the butt. It’s simply tasteless and don’t tell me how revolutionary it is I am sure someone else has done it in a much more tasteful and sexy way

And stop patronizing Lana, her song should be used in a much better runway show, not this crap. I am double offended!

 

[carla56]

As usual gorgeous show, terrible styling. But I’ll always prefer a show like this over a boring parade of nice dresses

the song choice is so gen z coded it almost feels like he had a checklist ughhhhh....
i miss his Gucci so much, hes having a mental breakdown at Valentino by the look of things...

 

[FashionPower]

All I can say is: please someone make sure Valentino Garavani himself does not watch this show...he's 90's, he could get a stroke by watching his legacy destroyed

 

[Avonlea]

I liked the show but I don't think it was appropriate for a house like Valentino. The collection was the same old Gucci sh*t.

 

[thiago:)]

The clothes seem to look a little better this time. I need to see the actual images first. Anyway, the presentation is a nightmare. Valentino deserves better casting and more glamour.

 

[blackcherrified]

Hug your rockstuds, vlogo, supervee, VLTN, demetra, aphrodite… valentino roma, red valentino, miss V… tight tonight, they are not going to come back until this awful man leaves this house with his vulgarities (that awful lilac bodysuit ughr), tasteless maximalism (he’s obsessed with using the harlequin print in the worst manner isn’t it)

 

[proseccotabis]

watched the whole show and i think the garments separately-if styled correctly - are actually gorgeous. the typical AM styling here is horrendous however and really truly limits the aspiring or existing clientele to purchase anything

 

[Vitamine W]

A mental asylum playing dress up. Mi dispiace tanto, signor Garavani.

 

[Blaiseybabey]

I was literally wondering if he's trying to turn this into some sort of "cool" thing. That long dress in harlequin print looks soo damn cheap. It even drapes badly. Like...why?
