The show also connected deeper, celebrating models of every shape, nationality and gender
The Valentino show did just that. Your breath was bated, first of all, as the models began their descent: there’s 135 steps to navigate, in ball gowns and headpieces and rich trappings that summoned imagery of renaissance grandees in high pageantry. And, indeed, this was like a series of fabulous portraits come to life, with its focus on singularity and uniqueness rather than narrative thread.
Couture is always about individuality, you could say – by its very nature every garment is crafted as a pure one-off, not so much engineered to a client’s specifications and body as entirely born from them.
It was a gorgeous display, masterly in its display of finery – but it also connected deeper. Piccioli’s Valentino shows celebrate models of every shape, nationality and gender description. It is a diverse description of beauty that descended the steps, a vision of an all-embracing present that Piccioli said was the real power of his work. The ability to bring these people together, in that place, and project that image. “I have to be a witness to my time,” he stated.
