ABOUT OUR COLLECTIONS

Dear visitors, 

After the success of "A History of Fashion", our second collections tour will open to the public in June 2023.

This next collections tour will be an opportunity for you to discover a new history of fashion, from the 18th century to the present day, through our exceptional collections presented in a new theme dedicated to the body in motion.

The link between fashion and sport will be the subject of the second display of this new collections tour, echoing the Olympic Games that will be held in Paris in 2024.

Valentino, a fashion house founded in 1960 in Rome, is managed by Pierpaolo Picchioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri since 2008. Their creations emanate an almost aristocratic poetry and evidence, like those straight out of a Botticelli painting. When Maria Grazia Chiuri left in 2016 for the Christian Dior house, Pierpaolo Picchioli kept their style and refined it.

With its virtuoso chromatic harmony, the spring-summer 2018 haute couture collection is emblematic of the couturier. The shape of the dress given to the Palais Galliera is inspired by a baby doll dress, a type launched by Balenciaga in 1958. Its fuchsia colour is adorned on the side with a large knot of blackcurrant rift. The aerial headdresses are among the most popular elements of the parade. Made by British milliner Philip Treacy, they are bristling with 263 turkey feathers dyed to the colour of the dress. This is the first Treacy model to be integrated into the collections of the Paris Fashion Museum.

This collection, beyond its aesthetic success, is a tribute to the seamstresses in the company's workshops, nicknamed "the little hands" in fashion jargon, a synecdoche that Picchioli hates. This ensemble is named "Sylvia R." in homage to one of them.
