The Fall 2025 season of Paris Fashion Week is truly an extraordinary event that captivates fashion enthusiasts worldwide. Today’s highlight, scheduled at 3 PM, showcased the highly anticipated Valentino Fall 2025 collection, designed by the acclaimed Alessandro Michele. Michele, who took over as the creative director of Valentino in March 2024 following the unexpected exit of Pierpaolo Piccioli, is now presenting his fifth collection for this iconic Parisian luxury brand, originally founded by Valentino Garavani in 1960. Titled “Le Méta-Theatre des Intimités,” the collection’s set was a striking red-hued public bathroom, evoking vibrant rave culture. Models graced the red-tiled runway, showcasing a stunning array of extravagant gowns, embellished suits, and intricate lace headpieces, all reflecting Michele’s signature maximalist style.

“I almost forgot there is a Valentino show.” [JohannesL]

“Bad. This is bad. I am sorry that the Lana Del Rey soundtrack wouldn’t save these clothes.” [blackcherrified]

“If you have to force it, it’s probably not good, which is why this collection was presented in a bathroom; it’s just not appealing.” [TianCouture]

“The same old content.” [GivenchyAddict]

“I am really curious about what Mr. Valentino thinks about this collection, the show, and Alessandro Michele as a creative force. I wonder how long he will remain in this position, but I genuinely hope it’s not for too long. I miss the classic beauty Valentino used to represent.” [Salvatore]

“A collection that feels like a mix of archive pieces hastily styled together. It’s a broken record at this point. While the quality is undeniable, it’s rather forgettable.” [Lola701]

“Alessandro Michele is starting to get on my nerves. His shows always feel repetitive, albeit presented in different pretentious contexts. He will need to evolve his creative vision, or his tenure may be a long and challenging one.” [Thefrenchy]

“All I can say is: please ensure Valentino Garavani himself does not watch this show. At 90 years old, witnessing his legacy being transformed in this manner could be too much for him.” [FashionPower]
