Milan: Valentino boutique opening. The new
restructured boutique on the elegant Via Montenapoleone, celebrates the 50th
anniversary of Valentino. The creative directors have launched a special
project that combines passed and present with dazzling continuity. Their style is sleek and sharp. The
collection of ready
to wear and accessories, includes iconic outwear made of double cashmere and
wool cloth: the cape with mysterious allure, the cool fitted pea coat, the
flowing single, or double breasted coat, the tunic-poncho, and the boxy top
worn over a mini skirt. Each is made in
a different animal print: giraffe, jaguar, tiger, cheetah, zebra and panther.
Working with utmost lightness Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli establish
their vision of contemporary style in an iconic moment for the maison and they
bring it to life without nostalgia, focusing on the evocative power of unusual
combinations.

made in walnut. Couture savoire faire is the most striking element in
Valentino’s DNA. This also refers to the
close relationship that they have established with their customers. For the restructuring of the Milan boutique, Mr.
Chipperfield interpreted this aspect through the concept of a palazzo, working
on a monumental scale (the Valentino maison is intimately associated with Rome,
a city known for its monumental scale) and reducing it to a precious, subtle
nuance. “Mr. Chipperfield combines the past with a contemporary sense,
imagining a space that embraces the future and the past. Majestic and sleek, it has a grand, calm and
solemn sense about it. After all, we believe that having a heritage with a
glorious past is the true luxury.” Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli.

Valentino red carpet gown these warm exquisite and delicious chips of Jerusalem
artichoke topped with artichoke cream, melted in the mouth and stimulated all the
taste buds, they were created Da Vittorio.
