Pierpaolo Piccioli went back to his romantic roots for Red Valentino’s resort collection.
Welcome to romantic land. Pierpaolo Piccioli went back to his roots for Red Valentino’s resort collection after a few seasons leaning toward a tougher, cool girl aesthetic.
He pushed the romanticism through plays on pastel, lightness and transparency. The designer had fun with layering, pairing a sheer pink point d’esprit dress under a matching trenchcoat, or a candy color lemon tulle dress with a solid cropped cardigan. Trenches, in fact, came in a variety of forms — shortened with a ruffle hem, long and pleated, or featherweight and silky.
Pieces were pretty, sure, but not always simple or straightforward. Piccioli excels in the balance of contrasts — light and sturdy, sporty and feminine — making sure to work those elements in nuanced ways with styling or experimental construction. A leather moto jacket was a standout for balancing a classic frontal appearance with surprisingly lightweight pleats behind that gradually became larger and opened up.
