Alessandro Michele unveiled the Valentino Spring/Summer 2027 collection at Paris's Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève. The show centered on the concept of the 'antilibrary,' a term for the boundless potential of unread books sitting on shelves. Michele compared them to clothes we have never worn, each holding a story yet to unfold.
The collection paired '80s-inspired jackets with lace biker shorts. Silk boxer shorts were pulled high above misbuttoned blazers. A cap reading 'Villain Teen' played on the phonetic echo of Valentino. Colorful bralette tops met pleated skirts in bold contrasts.
Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève is a 19th-century monument known for its iron stacks and vaulted ceilings. The runway cut through aisles of books. Michele asked guests to bring a book from their own shelves, a gesture symbolizing the untold stories each person carries.
Valentino showcased Michele's signature wit without filter. Tweed jackets trimmed with feathers and sequined jacquard layering stood out. The message: unworn clothes, like unread books, hold infinite narratives. What possibilities lie in the pieces you have yet to wear?
