Michele is mad about polka dots for spring/summer 2025. The newly installed creative director splashed the pattern on a variety of pieces, including an evening gown, a cropped blazer, a skirt set, and a pantsuit. In other words, there's a polka-dotted look for any time of day.
Michele deftly combined his unmistakable aesthetic with Valentino's historic codes. The house is synonymous with the color red, for instance, but Michele didn't rely on the hue too heavily. By using red sparingly and creatively, the crimson looks he sent down the runway felt all the more significant.
Michele wants us to have fun with our accessories. Why wear a simple pair of black pumps when you can style them with red lace tights and a studded bow? He's also advocating for the return of the charm bracelet-a trend I haven't thought of since I owned a Juicy Couture one circa 2005.
