Valentino Pre-Fall 2025: the return of maximalism by Alessandro Michele

In California, you often hear sayings like "we don't have real seasons, just different shades of sunshine" or "you can wear shorts year-round here". While that may be true, there is a unique shift in light, temperature, and mood on the coastline throughout the year that gets overlooked. With that, there's a funny bridge in fashion where people here want to take part in the fall/winter fashion trends, but can never fully let go of their summertime pieces and vice versa. Each wave is always different.

This is an evocative story about transformation and the passage of time, about emancipation, and the silent power inherent in every glance, step, and choice. The narrative follows the journey of three women as they walk through the streets of Paris, symbolizing an inner and historical voyage.

Feminine or genderqueer, the new perfumes range from neo-gourmand to classic. Soothing and cozy, or sexy and daring.
