After Moments of stillness and introspection, the will of movement and a new dynamism serve as the starting point for the FW 21 collection, where Mr Valli takes his Parisienne silhouette on a journey to his hometown, Rome.
 |
While working through the city, this silhouette turns into a new imaginary friend, Paolina Borghese Bonaparte, a woman ahead of her times that perfectly incarned the balance between the italian and french cultures and whose spirit applies to the Valli woman; a progressive and ecletic creature completely indipendent in her sense of style.
 |
Arrays of Parisienne blacks and whites, trimmed and embroidered necklines reminiscent of livery collars and slightly risen waistlines are further nods to the Europe.
 |
This collection’s footwear, refined Mary-Janes come in Antonio Canova’s marble white or in the form of streamlined platform boots, almost resembling statue pedestals.
 |
The House’s monogram, is embroidered as tapisserie on the Maison’s atemporal “Flore” bag or brocade totes bags and appears alongside silk satin “minaudières” adorned with “costellation” crystal-embroideries.
 |
The pigments of frescos appear on the eyes as souvenirs of the Galleria’s kaleidoscopic ceilings, which also pop up in the collection’s presentation through mind-bending videos taken by Giambattista Valli himself.
 |
The resolution of the collection is thus to convey a feel of vigor and to inspire the new beginning of enthusiastic femininity
