Valentino Resort 2025 by Glen Luchford

the video is GORGEOUS :heart: it's so Roma, opulent, rich, decadent, demodè, love love love! Glen+Alessandro+Simmonds are a perfect trio, they never fail!
 
I will just unfortunately never be able to get on board with this aesthetic. It also just looks Dated now, not old fashioned in terms of clothes, just a dated way of dressing.
 
Like the clothes, hate the styling, hate the photography
At least with his Gucci ads, e.g. the Japan one was modern and cool
This is just sad clowns
 
Loathed the vast majority of Alessandro Michele's Gucci campaigns and judging by the look of this, it'll be the same with his Valentino offerings. This whole maximalist concept just feels so dated in 2024, despite everything feeling very rich and regal here. Not for me...
 
Still not sold on the collection, I am just glad there is someone who does story-telling and brings back "dreams, emotions, and entertainment", as the CEO stated in the Financial Times. It's so rare nowadays when CDs manage to create a full universe. I just wish Alessandro's tenure will not be exclusively rooted in nostalgia.
 
Love the photography and art direction. Beautiful colors.
 
Childish wall flowers. Again. And it’ll be done again and again and again… and again. And do we really need this look of “maximalism” to happen again too? His Valentino is already feeling like it’s been going on for too long.

The lighting is nice. The set looks luxuriating. The impersonator is funny. Shame the rest is so blah. It just desperately calls for more sex and allure to be injected into this.
 
There's tribute, there's satire and then there's disrespect.

If you're happy to present, in those visual terms, the legendary founder of the brand that carries his name, while you're still working for it and he's still alive to see it... how will you deserve to be represented and remembered?
 
I am wondering if Michele's Gucci 2.0 sells well, and I do like what he did for Valentino more than his Gucci where the campaign were always good.
