Valentino aptly titled its spring 2022 couture collection, “Anatomy of Couture.” Presented as an incredibly intimate, socially distanced show, Pierpaolo Piccioli attempted to recast the social convention of what haute couture is leveraging diversity in the models who were cast. The collection featured a variety of body shapes and sizes, as well as ages. Rarely, if ever, are curve or older models seen on the haute couture runways, which is a major and relevant statement. As for the clothing itself, there was something for everyone: structured taffeta gowns with bold bows in bright hues, suits with surface embellishment galore, and mini dresses that pulled in references of Roman and Hellenistic draping. The beauty of the collection is that it showed different sides of haute couture–modernity, relevancy and joyousness included.
