Valentino mixes 80s and Baroque splendour on Rome return
Valentino’s fall/winter 2026-27 show featured 1980s styles with Baroque elements and was attended by 700 guests, marking the first ready-to-wear event since founder’s January 2026 death.
- In Rome on Thursday, Valentino staged its fall/winter 2026-27 ready-to-wear show, its first since founder Valentino Garavani's death on January 19.
- Michele said he drew on the 1980s' 'positivity' and 'empowerment' when shaping the collection titled 'Interferenze', which contrasted 'code and deviation, lightness and gravity'.
- Under Pietro da Cortona's ceiling fresco, models walked on fake grass in outfits heavily inspired by the 1980s, with details like strong shoulders, cinched waists, mini-skirts, oversized jewellery, and the final gown in signature red with a deep back cut.
- Valentino broadcast the show live on its social channels and on big screens around Rome, with approximately 700 guests, including Gwyneth Paltrow and about 200 journalists and VIPs.
- Amid industry headwinds, Valentino, 70 percent owned by Qatar investment fund Mayhoola and 30 percent by Kering, hopes Michele revitalises the brand.
