Hwasa, Florence Pugh And Sensual Empowerment At Valentino L'École
The collection honours the female body and its independence.
Staging the Valentino L'École show within a local art school in Paris gave creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli the opportunity to present his latest designs alongside a live performance helmed by multidisciplinary artist FKA Twigs, both of which served to honour the female body and its independence.
Piccioli presented a collection that screams romance and sensuality while remaining grounded at the same time with simple, versatile silhouettes and tailoring that any woman could wear from running errands all day or attending a board meeting to an evening gala.

A new technique was also implemented in this collection, where fabric was sculpted into seamless three-dimensional forms such as baroque foliage, fruits and flowers, which framed the bodies of the models who sashayed around the foyer. Truly très magnifique!
