This season the collection combines African and Italian traditions and influences. The trigger for this has been the humanitarian crisis in Italy where thousands of refugees from Nigeria, Gambia and Senegal areas amongst others have been seeking sanctuary by crossing the Mediterranean in dangerous conditions.
“We probably feel that the greatest privilege in doing our work is that fashion can give a message. We think every person coming here is an individual, and we can show that we can improve ourselves by understanding other cultures.”
- Chiuri.
"The message is tolerance. And the beauty that comes out of cross - cultural expression.”
- Piccioli,
The Valentino Spring/Summer range balances contemporary modern silhouettes with tribal hand crafted treatments. The collection is stunning and unique with a compassionate message.
