The body, that of women in particular, is both a matter of fact and an artistic construct, of which beauty canons change over time, assessing now tense verticality, now soft horizontality, celebrating certain corridor of the deconstruction over others.
In the system of Haute Couture, this drive to idealization materializes in the body of the house model, on which everything is designed and erected, getting real while remaining an abstraction.
Driven by the urgency of redefining the rituals and processes of Couture to produce a canon that reflects the uproariousness and diversity of the contemporary world and promoting an idea of beauty that isn't absolute, Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli imagined this Valentino deconstruction of Couture collection not on one single and idealized house model, but on a variety of women with different body frames and periods. Soft and drinking in the popular spirit, and at the same time revolutionary in the approach that rewrites known processes,
Pierpaolo Piccioli builds the collection as a compound harmony of physical types and the clothes that dress them, studied through a long process, both scientific and Lyrica.
The communication doesn't change in its purpose, which is to convey beauty, but in the welcoming expression. The body is the starting and ending point of the whole process. outlines follow it nearly, or detach from it.
Bareness touches from extremely short ends, chirping from deep necklines that reveal the torso. A strong sense of verticality alternates with breezy horizontality.
The canons of Valentino Couture are reiterated in a dialogue that isn't a fragmentation but a coherent offer expressed through different body frames.
The intimate dialogue between who thinks the clothes, who makes them and who wears them is reflected in the closeness of the donation.
Altering the process, yet keeping the hunt for beauty and grace complete, a gesture of noble rupture, of lyrical openness is affirmed, one which gives quality to the individual by replacing the reality that includes to the abstraction that excludes.
