The Transformational City of Milan

In January 1985, Mr. Valentino Garavani made his debut in the world of menswear by presenting his first show in Milan. Now Pierpaolo Piccioli's men's collection becomes a timeless statement, elevating the category and intertwining Valentino's distinctive codes with the essence of Milan. Building upon Valentino's legacy, Pierpaolo Piccioli has embarked on a journey to redefine the boundaries of men's fashion, pushing the male wardrobe in an ever-contemporary direction.

Redefining Menswear

This season, the Maison parts with its co-ed show, elevating menswear into a singularly powerful moment. Menswear will continue conversing with womenswear. However, the category will become an important symbol of Piccioli's redefinition of masculine codes.

In previous collections, such as Unboxing Valentino, the House launched Maison Valentino Essentials. The selection of unmissable menswear staples reconsiders traditional rules and limitations. This offering pushed menswear into an even more open and accessible space for Valentino. With the Maison behind him, Piccioli will iterate these staples, further pushing the bounds of formalwear.

The Valentino The Narratives Menswear show will be presented as part of Milan FashionWeek. The show will be streamed live on Valentino.com and on social channels on June 16, 2023, at 2p (UTC +2).
