VALENTINO FALL 2025 CAMPAIGN

words by NATALIE GAL

Maison Valentino announces their new Valentino Fall 2025 campaign under the Creative Direction of Alessandro Michele, shot by Glen Luchford. 

Valentino’s Fall collection for this year is simply an overflow of carefully composed shapes, patterns and bold colours, one can easily get lost in a myriad of details—that's exactly the point. The goal is immersion. By channelling different eras, we catch glimpses of inspiration from the '50s, '60s, and '70s, all intertwined together to create timeless pieces. From boho to elegant, the styles blend seamlessly, coexisting in perfect harmony.

Alessandro Michele described the collection with touching words; according to him, “We live in an era of violent uproar, of shouting images, of words chasing after other words without ever taking root. Such overblown turmoil oversaturates our gaze, producing a solid crisis of perception.

From this, comes the need for a policy of attention, an ethics for the gaze and the presence, capable of lingering upon the infinitely small, on seemingly insignificant gestures, on those everyday routines that connect us with the pattern of life.

What I’m proposing is to overcome the anesthetization of the gaze, dwelling in the silent twist and turns of the days, welcoming the magic of the existing with kindness, choosing to stay in touch with what is alive. The everyday is not a backdrop that animates only when the extraordinary steps in. Rather, it’s the secret architecture that supports our presence in the world: a frame of glows and joyful epiphanies enshrined in the little or nothing of our ordinariness.”
