What To Get From Valentino's Spring/Summer 2023 Collection
A quieter and chic affair is taking place at the Roman house this season.
Pierpaolo Piccioli's Spring/Summer 2023 collection for Valentino, titled Unboxing Valentino, is a far cry from the exuberant Pink PP collection he unveiled for Fall/Winter 2022. After all, his focus was on showing the importance of subtracting and simplifying; placing the emphasis on what's truly essential.
Though the general colour palette muted, there are the occasional bursts of emerald green, cerulean, yellow and, of course, Valentino red for the Spring/Summer 2023 collection.
The result is is a colour palette dominated mostly in nude shades and grey. Meanwhile, there are a handful of the colour-saturated pieces that one has come to expect from a Piccioli outing – these are often decorated with sequins or feathers or crystals. Some pieces are also decorated with the V-festooned pattern dubbed the Valentino Toile Iconographe, which was introduced earlier in the Pre-Spring 2023 collection. To illustrate the idea of stripping back, white button-up shirts were lined with a flesh-coloured body suit.
Below, a list of buys from Valentino's latest Spring/Summer collection that is available in stores now.
V marks the spot for this Loco bag, which comes with the VLogo Signature metal clip closure and the Valentino Toile Iconographe canvas.
The Le Troisieme bag is great if you're into more structured and boxy silhouettes and require lots of room in your everyday bag. It comes with three internal card slots and an adjustable and detachable leather shoulder strap.
Obsessed with Valentino's stud motif that was first introduced in the 2010 on the Rockstud Valentino shoes? Then you'll be head over heels on this evening bag which is constructed to look like a gigantic monolithic stud.
Monochrome is the way to go sometimes. This pair of Rockstud pumps come with tone-on-tone lacquered studs and adjustable straps.
Towering platform pumps are becoming a new classic at Valentino. These ones, with 5.5cm platform clear Plexi platforms, will give the illusion of even longer gams.
This sunshine yellow long coat is lined at the opening with removable feathers and lined with pure silk.
The inner bodysuit helps to create the illusion that the white outer shirt is slipping off your shoulders when worn. The shirt also comes in a ebony and light camel colour.
We think we found our new favourite party outfit in this cut-out dress.
You've probably heard the theory of how a red suit is empowering and a sign of strength. If you're just not into that, this Valentino red jumpsuit is a more casual take on pantsuits.
This caped midi dress is entirely festooned in the Valentino Toile Iconographe print for an added dose of dramatic effect.
A must-have in any modern woman's wardrobe, a bodysuit is a fuss-free versatile piece to match with almost anything, while giving your getup a polished look.
