Overview
- Alessandro Michele unveiled Valentino’s co-ed Autumn/Winter 2026-27 collection, titled Interferenze, at Palazzo Barberini on March 12 after stepping off the Paris calendar.
- Valentino broadcast the show live on Urban Vision screens across Rome, Milan and Naples, with Rome sites including Largo di Torre Argentina, Testaccio, Viale Trastevere and Piazza Mazzini.
- Michele framed fashion as an “interference” that blends order with deviation and vulnerability, drawing on Baroque Rome and Bernini’s Cardinal Valier button motif used for the invitation.
- About 700 guests attended, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Giancarlo Giammetti, Georgina Rodriguez and Colman Domingo, followed by a party featuring a performance by Lily Allen.
- The collection highlighted plissé, asymmetry, transparencies, ornate embroidery and bold color juxtapositions, capped by a single red gown in tribute to founder Valentino Garavani.
