Alessandro Michele Breaks the Glass on the New Valentino: A Dazzling Debut at Paris Fashion Week

In a highly anticipated unveiling, Alessandro Michele showcased his first collection as Valentino’s creative director, capturing the essence of maximalism and eccentricity in a breathtaking display titled “Pavillon des Folies.” The event, held in Paris, drew a star-studded audience, including fashion icons like Florence Welch, Harry Styles, Elton John, Jared Leto, and Hari Nef, who gathered to witness the spectacular fusion of artistry and fashion.

The atmosphere of the runway was reminiscent of an intimate salon, enhanced by mood lighting from covered lamps and plush armchairs for guests. The runway itself was an artistic marvel, designed to resemble broken glass or glistening black ice, setting the stage for a show that commenced with the striking sounds of shattering glass.
