Miami, FL – April 1, 2021 – Continuing Valentino’s ongoing support of The Rubell Museum, the Maison has created an installation of the Collezione Milano collection in one of the Rubell gallery spaces. Open for private appointments over 3 days, the installation infuses the museum with Creative Director, Pierpaolo Piccioli’s bold, romantic SpringSummer 21 collection. On Thursday evening, Olivia Culpo stopped by The Rubell Museum for a private appointment to view the new installation.

The individual vision of Pierpaolo Piccioli touches the individual spirit of each person, and what comes out of it is a suggestion of what Valentino can be now, following another perspective. It is about the values that make an ever-evolving identity, not the aesthetic that solidifies it. An egalitarian collection that swings between extremes and is fueled by the will to purify. Lines are fluid, either extra-long or extra-short. Colors range from the tones of nude, that make body and clothing fuse one with the other, to bright hues that burn the retina like a signal. Flowers bloom on nylon pieces, swarm as prints, turn into lace, and lace is made of straw. The language of craft and of Couture mingle and merge. The idea of simplification and the quest for a new meaning guides the selection of pieces: masculine blouses, yet made of chiffon; five-pocket jeans; loose blazers; fluid long dresses and short-short dresses. At night, Valentino’s character arises. Even accessories undergo a process of re-signification: Rockstuds enlarge in a macro version, flowers bloom on sandals, boots have an assertive presence, bags are materic and tactile. The collection is a set of modules that can be individually adapted.
