Majestic Metamorphosis: Valentino’s Haute Couture Marvel at Chateau de Chantilly

Valentino, the renowned Italian fashion house, showcased its fall haute couture collection at the Chateau de Chantilly, situated north of Paris. Designer Pierpaolo Piccioli curated a romantic lineup of reimagined styles, perfectly suited for the contemporary red carpet scene.

The show commenced with Kaia Gerber, daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford, donning a white shirt left unbuttoned to reveal a glimpse of the midriff, effortlessly paired with loose-fitting jeans. Accentuating the ensemble were striking crystal chandelier earrings and metallic, pointy-toed flats adorned with charming bows.

Captivating the audience, models gracefully descended a grand stone staircase and meandered around a fountain in the castle’s formal garden, accompanied by the melancholic vocals of art-pop singer Anohni. They graced the runway wearing gowns designed to frame their figures, featuring plunging V-shaped necklines and alluring cutouts at the hips. Skirts, elegantly slit to the thighs, added an element of allure. For the male counterparts, loose-fitting suits and a resplendent gold overcoat were presented.

The choice of venue holds profound significance for the fashion label, aiming to encapsulate the essence of exclusivity through an age-old symbol, while redefining it as a platform for equality and openness. Valentino’s collection flawlessly combines timeless elegance with a fresh perspective, setting a new standard for haute couture.
