Couture AW19: Valentino’s dedication to individuality

For autumn/winter 2019, Valentino’s Pierpaolo Piccioli showcased a
floral-themed fantasy display of artisanal skill for its couture collection
during Paris Haute Couture Week.

“Individuality is a value to foster and to protect. Every human being is
different from each other, but we are all the same,” explained the
Valentino show notes. “Nurturing such opulence of diversity is enriching,
even more so within the realm of a Maison de Couture. Inclusivity,
ultimately, is a creative as well as a human act.”

Such individuality for Valentino couture is displayed as an
extravagance, which the Italian fashion house states is the “purest, rawest
form” of a person’s uniqueness. This was shown with its sensational
silhouettes, buoyant colour, and exquisite craftsmanship.

Extravagance “materialises and dematerialises” in the colours, ranging
from citron green to marigold yellow and aquamarine, in the shapes, with
oversized bows, billowing silhouettes and draping, as well as in the
details from vivid floral patterns, to dramatic fringing, tassels and
pompoms, and incredible headpieces.

“Each passage is a singular entity, altogether making sense as a
gathering of individualities,” added Piccioli.

Highlights included a floral appliqué floor-sweeping gown, a sleeveless
gown made of rose gauze squares, an aquamarine feathered coat, a draped
taffeta dresses in emerald green, and a vibrant yellow gown featuring tiers
of chunky knit fringe.

Identity was also displayed with the model casting, with models ranging
from 40s to mid-70s, including Lauren Hutton and Cecilia Chancellor walking
the catwalk alongside younger models Kaia Gerber and Gigi Hadid, and for
the finale bow, Piccioli was joined by his atelier staff who created the
collection.
