Valentino’s Pre-Fall 2025 collection marks Alessandro Michele’s inaugural showcase as creative director, introducing a distinctive maximalist aesthetic to the brand.
Michele’s debut has been noted for its blend of maximalist elements with Valentino’s traditional elegance. To refresh your memory – in the 1970s, Valentino’s take on boho was what made the brand stand out and known for. And for next year’s pre-fall, Michele revisited its sense of romance, infusing it with some of his own tendencies.
Interesting to note that when it comes to denim, there was – contrary to the rest of the collection – nothing opulent. Actually, let’s think about the biggest denim trend right now, over- and ubersized.
Valentino’s denim pieces seemed rather subdued in comparison to most of the other denims we’ve seen so far. Not much of oversized or overlong. The fits are definitely classic with the exception of a pair of wide-leg cropped jeans for her. Washes range from medium to stone-washed light blue.
You can shop for this year’s fall/winter Valentino collection at NET-A-PORTER, FWRD, and at Saks Fifth Avenue.
