Because of the epidemic, the new couture series is still exposed in the form of fashion videos, no audience, and online announcements. But through the silver screen, you will find that the beauty of Valentino has only increased.
This advanced customization series with 73 sets of styles is named “Code Temporal”, which translates into a beautiful vocabulary –
“Law of Time”.
The idea of Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli is to convey that “the time code is constantly renewing itself, while its value remains unchanged.” In terms of advanced customization, the same is true for excellent handcrafted design and production.
What’s more interesting is that “Code Temporal” is the first time that Valentino exhibited both women’s clothing and men’s clothing in the high-definition series.
Men’s clothing and women’s clothing have the same design elements and echo each other.
Same Cloak
Same plush coat
Same suit jacket
At the end of the big show, Pierpaolo Piccioli wore a black mask and appeared at the same time with 15 craftsmen from the haute couture studio.
The film “Making of the Haute Couture Collection” (Making of the Haute Couture Collection), which he collaborated with British artist Robert Del Naja, will be officially released on Friday.
The story behind this high-end fashion will be produced by artificial intelligence Algorithms are converted and edited to record the production composition of the advanced custom Atelier studio.
So how beautiful are the 73 designs of the “Code Temporal” series? This is a beauty that not even a gilded Renaissance-style palace can counteract.
The location of this big show is the Galleria Colonna promenade in Sala Grande, Rome. The history of this Baroque building can be traced back to the 14th century.
Pierpaolo Piccioli said: “It can emphasize and set off Valentino’s most exquisite craftsmanship.”
Indeed, the Italian supermodel Mariacarla Boscono opened the show wearing an ivory hollowed-out cape Walking slowly, like a queen with a strong aura in previous centuries.
This cloak uses about 2,000 meters of fabric, cut into nearly 500 squares and stitched together by hand.
The 26th set of cashmere double-layer wavy perforated jacket and the 36th set of cashmere perforated skirt also used the same cutting and splicing techniques.
The former took 3,000 hours to finish, while the latter used 120 small squares cut from about 500 meters of fabric to sew by hand.
In the new high-definition series of women’s clothing, coat items account for a super high proportion.
From grosgrain to cashmere fabrics, from bright peach pink to steady camel, from dropped shoulders to shoulder pad designs, there are many styles and colors, giving enough room for choice.
In addition to long coats, slim long dresses have also appeared in the show many times. Valentino called it “Seconde Peau Dress” , Second Skin Dress.
Walking swayingly, femininity emerges spontaneously.
Among them, the “Seconde Peau Dress” with yellow vertical stripes is used Nearly 900 meters of crepe fabric is used, which has an extremely low-key luxury.
On a similar long skirt, Pierpaolo Piccioli embellished it with shimmering sequins, sparkling in action.
There are such oversized skirts in the “Code Temporal” series The style of the pose is simply a must for the red carpet.
The oversized skirt that appeared in the finale was styled with 5 -8mm sequins weigh nearly 24 kg, and all of them are sewn on the skirt by hand, which is both beautiful and luxurious.
Valentino 2021 spring and summer haute couture show has so many beautiful and special dresses and skirts , the pink one is full of sequins, metal rings and Swarovski rhinestones, all stitched by craftsmen.
The men’s clothing and Women’s clothing comes from the same source, from color matching to style.
The most interesting thing about men’s clothing is the matching. A high-necked bottoming shirt can be worn with almost everything , shirts, vests, hoodies… there are only things you can’t think of, and nothing you can’t match.
The most heavily crafted of all men’s clothing is this rose cashmere coat. It is sewn by Atelier studio craftsmen with 250 roses, and 280 meters of cashmere fabrics are used just for the trimming of these roses.

For a long time, Valentino has been adhering to this concept to design every single product.
Even if it appears again after many years, Valentinoino haute couture is still beautiful and classic.

Lady Gaga once chose a Valentino dress from the 1980s to go out on the street. Even if the skirt is more than 30 years ago, the color, shape and condition are still surprisingly good.
The wedding dresses of Pavlos, the last crown prince of Greece, and his bride Marie-Chantal Miller were designed by Mr. Valentino Garavani himself, and were sewed by 25 tailors for 4 months.
According to royal tradition, we may see it again in the future when Pavlos’ children are married.
Mr. Valentino Garavani once said: “I understand what women want, she most wants to be beautiful. “
“I have been doing everything I want to do, pursuing the beauty I want to pursue, I used to use 100 yards of cashmere fabric for my work. Very few people do it because it costs so much. “
The “White Collection” launched in 1968 was such an extremely expensive series.
At that time, in the choice of fabrics, Valentino Mr. Garavani boldly chose a white fabric that cost $2,000 a yard (0.9 meters), which was an astonishing price in the 1960s.
But in the end, this series won the favor of many celebrities Fans.
Valentino and Elizabeth Taylor became acquainted because of this series:
Jacqueline also chose a lace dress from the “White Collection” as the dress for her wedding with Aristotle Onassis:
After the wedding, Jacqueline’s high-end clothing was inquired by many people, and 30 pieces were sold one after another.
You know, for advanced custom clothing, the sales volume is in single digits It can already be described as amazing.
Of course, Pierpaolo Piccioli, the current helm of Valentino, has also inherited Mr. Valentino Garavani’s talent and pursuit of beauty.

The feather dress in the same series is the result of 2010 working hours.
