Similarly to Rei Kawakubo, Valentino‘s Pierpaolo Piccioli sent down the runway an all-black collection as a response to our troubled world. While the Comme Des Garçons designer offered some light at the end of the tunnel – a white bridal cocoon dress – Piccioli presented a fully veiled, transparent gown. This super elegant line-up, filled with very fine day-to-day wardrobe staples and simply beautiful, at points austere in silhouette eveningwear, offered no happy end. And just a moment ago the designer would go PPPink.
