» 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 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.
