On the third day of Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week, the vibrant City of Light witnessed the unveiling of Alessandro Michele’s eagerly awaited debut collection for Valentino Haute Couture Spring 2025. Following his departure from Gucci, Michele took the helm at Valentino in March 2024, succeeding Pierpaolo Piccioli. This marks a significant transition for the storied Italian fashion house, originally founded in 1960 by the legendary Valentino Garavani. The collection, aptly named ?Vertigineux,? featured an impressive 48 looks and was showcased at the Palais Brongniart, where the atmosphere was infused with a striking sense of theatricality and grandeur. Models graced the runway in front of massive electronic screens displaying powerful words like ?rapture,? ?disruption,? and ?juxtaposition,? all while drawing inspiration from the rich and storied Valentino archives.

?A nightmare, literally a nightmare, from the presentation to the clothes.? [avonlea002]
?I don?t like his approach to haute couture at all. It doesn?t work. The bizarre oversized bows and shapes lack coherence and intention. This collection feels excessively ego-driven, showing little regard for the client?s needs.? [reese06]
?I really have no patience for this. The clothes are absolutely hideous, and the pace of the show felt excruciating with this setup. Alessandro Michele was a terrible choice for this role.? [Salvatore]
?This is absolutely horrible. It?s quite shameful.? [brandon J pierre]
