Piccioli has been all-out to dress and impress today’s youth at Valentino for a good few seasons. The neo-punk tribe of people he sent stomping around the rooms of the Hotel Salomon Rothschild had face-jewelry, tattoos, and heavy boots, the better to demonstrate the individuality he wanted to spotlight amongst his reinterpretations and deconstructions of traditional formal attire.
Variety amongst the discipline of uniform tailored dress codes has emerged as a theme across the season. Piccioli added many twists on the theme, the consistency being in the proportions: lots of leg, miniscule pelmet-length dresses, skirts, shorts, and jumpsuits, mostly in black and white, amongst splashes of strong Valentino red.
