Valentino’s Wednesday presentation marked Alessandro Michele’s first couture collection for the brand. The former creative director of Gucci succeeds Pierpaolo Piccioli, who exited Valentino after 25 years in 2024.

Michele surprised the fashion world with his Valentino debut in June, when he presented an expansive resort 2025 collection featuring 171 looks. He also introduced new handbags, including the Viva Superstar — a 1970s-inspired two-tone design — and the Vain, an accordion crossbody.

“I love objects, I have an intimate relationship with material things, it’s almost like a religious meeting and I feel a great privilege to be able to touch [founder Valentino Garavani’s] designs, as if they were a relic part of his life,” Michele told WWD of the inspiration behind his resort 2025 line, which involved looking through the label’s vast archives.

“[Garavani] amplified beauty,” the designer added. “I share the same kind of relationship with fashion as a great vehicle for freedom.”
