VALENTINO

June 2012

ELEGANCE + 1962 + RED

IN 1962 IN FLORENCE FOR THE FIRST VALENTINO SHOW, THE WORLD OF FASHION DISCOVERS A NEW AMBITIOUS AND PASSIONATE DESIGNER. VALENTINO GARAVANI HAS STRONG VIEWS OF WHAT HE WANTS TO OFFER TO WOMEN: STYLISH OUTFITS SUBLIMATING THEIR FEMININITY. FOR THIS, HE SET UP MANY CODES THAT -WHATEVER THE TIMES- ARE STILL RELEVANT, BY THEIR DENSITY OF ELEGANCE. HE CREATED A UNIVERSE AWAY FROM THE STYLISTIC INNOVATIONS OF HIS PEERS, FOCUSING ON SHAPES AND STYLISHNESS. BY REFINING HIS STYLE, HE PURIFIED HIS LINES DRAWING WAIST -THAT HE WANTS VERY SLIM- AS THE ANCHOR POINT OF THE BODY. HE ALSO DEVELOPES VOLUMES, WORKS ON FAWN AND FLORAL PRINTS AND SOLID COLORS. THE VALENTINO RED -INSPIRED BY A CHILDHOOD MEMORY- HAS BECOME THE BACKBONE OF HIS COLLECTIONS. INDEED ACCORDING TO HIM, RED IS THE ONLY COLOR WORTHY TO COMPETE WITH BLACK AND WHITE.
