The Fashion designs of Italian creative Valentino Garavani, in his FW 19-20 Haute Couture collection, are synonyms of extravaganza. That’s what makes them so particular and mesmerizing.
Extravagance is the individuality in its purest, rawest form. It literally means to meander out of the borders. As a gesture of self-definition, it is a way of being true to oneself. Not to seek attention, but to affirm one’s own reason for being into this world.
As one silhouette follows the other, the idea of extravagance materializes and dematerializes in the colors, the shapes, the flowers, the fringes, the headpieces. Each passage is a singular entity, altogether making sense as a gathering of individualities.
Trying to explain it all, however, would be betraying the deepest meaning of the journey. Individuality is an act of creation and self-creation, but also of interpretation. What unfolds in these rooms, thereafter, is a story that can take as many meanings as all the spectators watching. All different, all valid. Each eye, a path.
