The Valentino “Le Noir” fall/winter 2024 collection comes as the name says black, but redefined, reimagined, and ready to take center stage.
Pierpaolo Piccioli explores the versatility and complexity of black. It’s not just a color, it’s a symphony of textures moving black beyond the traditional perception as simply the absence of color. The collection’s designs vary from delicate chiffons and laces to structured velvets and crêpes. Embodying the captivating contrast between the airy and flowy, the designs showcase the collection’s central theme of lightness versus heaviness.
The collection draws inspiration from classic Valentino silhouettes of the 1980s. It features elements like glamorous lines and defined shoulders and embraces the cultural and historical significance of black. However, these elements aren’t simply replicated, they’re modernized for the present day, avoiding nostalgia, and creating a fresh perspective. The collection also references various interpretations of the color black from master artists like Rothko, Soulages, and Brancusi.
“Le Noir” Valentino isn’t just another collection, it’s a bold statement. It stands proudly alongside the iconic Rosso Valentino collection and showcases its elegance and versatility.
