Valentino presents a new vision of luxury
Life, Published on 27/06/2025
» Valentino presents aesthetics through a new lens in Valentino Resort 2026 that redefines luxury with serene elegance. The collection retains the essence of classic luxury while reimagining it in a dreamlike atmosphere. The imagery is bathed in soft pastel tones such as peachy pinks and gentle sky blues, that evoke a sense of calm. The simplicity of the setting draws the eye to the garments where precision tailoring, luxurious materials and artisanal techniques take centre stage once again to now be appreciated in a more relaxed context. This season's pieces explore the structure of tailoring, featuring cinched-waist jackets paired with wide-leg trousers that flow like skirts, as well as evening gowns reimagined with a sense of ease. The result is a contemporary reinterpretation of classic silhouettes that retain the timeless elegance at the heart of the maison.

» Early in The Adam Project, a pipsqueak asthmatic named Adam (Walker Scobell) and his golden retriever gallivant through the woods among shimmering falling debris. The cause of the wreckage, Adam learns, is a time jet that was crash-landed by his older self (Ryan Reynolds) travelling from the future. This is pure 80s sci-fi pastiche for the ages. Add a few flying saucer chases, cook up a quickie solution to the grandfather paradox, and this movie might have fallen at the intersection of E.T. and Back To The Future.
