Valentino Fall Winter 2021-2022 Milan Fashion Week. Review by RUNWAY MAGAZINE.

In Piccolo Teatro Milano Pierpaolo Piccioli, creative director of Valentino, decided to show the ready-to-wear Fall Winter 2021-2022 new collection of the house. The black and white collection of fabulous pieces showing handmade Italian crafts and knitwear is tribute to the lost lives in 2020, relighting savoir-faire, reopening the gates after terrible losses we all had in 2020.

The show starts and finishes with the song of Sinéad O’Connor – Nothing Compares to you:

It's been seven hours and 15 days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone, I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

“Reopening a theatre today is almost a punk gesture… Choosing to show our collection at the Teatro Piccolo in Milano, is a way to start the process of re-opening places of culture in our country. We need culture to be alive and we need to talk about it. Teatro Piccolo di Milano embodies the perfect symbol of all values our Brand stands for, it is a place of inclusivity and freedom. This is a first step, and even if it won’t be open to the public, it will give I hope, the idea that we are all going in the right direction,” – said Pierpaolo Piccioli
