Alessandro Michele releases his first resort collection for Valentino
Former Gucci creative designer Alessandro Michele has presented 171 ready-to-wear looks, months ahead of his debut collection scheduled for Valentino Spring 2025. Alessandro joined the Roman maison on April 2. The news was announced a week after the Italian luxury brand announced a “joint decision” to end its 25-year collaboration with creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli.
Alessandro introduced the look book for his first resort collection just two months after joining the maison. According to Vogue, in addition to the 171 ready-to-wear looks, the designer also introduced an additional look book dedicated to accessories, including shoes and bags.
What was the reaction on the internet?
The fashion world and the Internet were divided over the new collection. Some praised Alessandro for reinventing Valentino, while others said that Valentino lacked elegance, grace and sophistication.
Fashion commentator Hanan Besovic, the name behind @ideservecouture, pointed out that Alessandro released the collection on the day of Gucci’s show with a fun video. The caption read, “Oh what a coincidence and not just a few looks but 171 looks.” For those who don’t know, Sabato de Sarno is set to show his Spring Summer 2025 collection at Milan Fashion Week today.
Diet Sabya also shared the latest collection on his page and wrote, “If it ain’t broke why fix it?? The @alessandro_michele-ification of Valentino is here, and this is only the teaser.” He also asked his followers to share their opinions. “Guccino,” wrote a user. Another commented, “Gucci – hard for her to pin down that look. It was too strong.” A netizen commented, “Isn’t this the same aesthetic that got her cancelled in Gucci? *rolls eyes*.” Another pointed out, “Call it Valency.”
One netizen praised the new collection, commenting, “Will buy Valentino next year.” Another added, “It’s not GUCCI giving it away… it’s Alessandro Michele giving it away… now let’s see what’s next for Valentino.”
