Unboxing Valentino: the new collection
Valentino Toile Iconographe patterning, tonal tailoring and new Valentino Garavani accessories — the maison blurs the boundaries between conventional and couture dressing in its latest Unboxing Valentino spring/summer 2023 collection. Here, we uncover the inspiration behind the signature details and the key pieces to consider.
The story behind the collection
Maison Valentino explores romantic codes inspired by the couture world, applying them to more minimal silhouettes and neutral palettes. From cutout minis to flowing maxis, dresses take center stage alongside feminine skirts, expertly cut tailoring and Valentino Garavani’s Locò bag, presented in a new neutral tone.
The Valentino Toile Iconographe pattern
Inspired by archival 1970s designs, the modernized Valentino Toile Iconographe design shapes hero runway looks. Styled head to toe, the pattern is cast on silk dresses and jersey separates, as well as high-impact outerwear and fresh revisions of Valentino Garavani’s most-wanted accessories.
New Valentino Garavani accessories
From tights and gloves, to fresh takes on bags and shoes, the maison’s elevated accessories also spotlight the Toile Iconographe motif in signature red and fondant colorways. Look to the Valentino Garavani VLogo slingback pumps or the Valentino Garavani Le Troisième tote as statement finishing touches, or go bold and choose to style the unmistakable pattern as a full look.
