VALENTINO GARAVANI ACCESSORIES
Maison Valentino upends societal conventions for “Valentino Black Tie” Fall / Winter 2023 through the language of Couture craftsmanship, channeling a defiant and wholly modern spirit to recontextualize Valentino Garavani’s signatures. Chief among them is the Valentino Garavani Rockstud, which takes new form more than 10 years after its debut—coating the entire bottom and lining the sides of shoes, and incorporated into a chain handle on elongated bags. Together with the hardy black square-toe lug soles, which are edged in black Rockstuds, the effect is unabashedly bold and punk—and true to the heritage of the Maison.
