Step into the bold world of Alessandro Michele, where subtlety takes a backseat. At his first official Valentino runway show, Michele created a theatrical scene of broken mirror floor, dim lights, and cascading fabrics, with icons like Elton John and Harry Styles in the front row. The message was clear: Michele is ushering in a new chapter at Valentino with confidence and flair.

Drawing from the '60s, '70s, and '80s, Michele’s collection reimagines Valentino Garavani’s classic designs with modern twists, ruffles, lace bodysuits, and polka dots galore.

Accessories stole the show, from retro V-embossed bags to snakeskin go-go boots. Michele’s fearless creativity proves fashion is not just about looking good; it’s about embracing life without compromise.

"People are scared of living, but I want to live. I don’t have a chance to be different than what I am. And I’m okay with that."

Says Alessandro Michele.
