#UnboxingValentino: the power of subtraction for Pierpaolo Piccioli

The imagery created by Pierpaolo Piccioli   for Valentino's spring summer 2023 collection brings us back to the essentials. The subtraction of the superfluous, a zero abundance capable of leading us to the most absolute purity of the dawning.

Pierpaolo Piccioli , the Italian designer born in 1968, is - since 2008 in duo with Maria Grazia Chiuri and since 2016 alone - the creative guide of the Italian maison founded in the 60s by Valentino Garavani .

Valentino 's spring summer 2023 collection tells the story of a conscious purity, an important process of subtraction - not absence - of the superfluous. Piccioli's goal is to bring us back to that authentic ideal of essential.

Thus, like a cascade of different colors, volumes and textures, Valentino 's spring summer 2023 show ends. A riot of different vibes, from the important return of the stainless Valentino Red, symbol of that omnipresent heritage, to the cuts on dresses with a minimal charm, able to reveal the person. With this collection Piccioli is perfectly capable of translating the language of Couture into the ready-to-wear alphabet.

The iconic logo of the maison, used until the end of the 70s, is reconfirmed emblematic also in this collection, embellishing dresses, hoods and beauty looks. Between logomania and minimalism, this collection will never cease to amaze us.

The softness and lightness of each single garment is striking, the color palette fluctuates from nude shades in mashup with other colors such as yellow, blue, green and black. The details, on the other hand, in the trousers and on the sleeves of the jackets, are plumed. Soon, it's time to shine. Dresses, bags and catsuits light up with sparkling sequins.

Among the accessories, how not to notice the transparent heel of the dizzying Tan-go look and the studded bag almost inspired by the famous Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara.
