“Ldove is the answer ”Pier Paolo Piccioli launches in one of his messages at the beginning of the show in the heart of Paris. If once there was the “red Valentino”, now we talk about “Valentino fuchsia”: the Valentino Pink PP Collection A / W 2022-23 is completely fuchsiafrom the preparations to the clothes passing through the accessories arriving at make-up that alternates with the classic nude, leitmotiv of all the shows next season, with flashes of intense pink on the eyes. Because in the end, as Piccioli says, all we need is just love.
Valentino, beauty is a “vie en rose”
It was 1945, a few days after the end of the Second World War when Edith Piaf wrote the Vie en Rose, the famous and optimistic post-war manifesto that urged everyone to go back to seeing life with “pink glasses”. And that’s kind of what he did Pier Paolo Piccioli by choosing an intense pink, a fuchsia that also colors the catwalk. And which then gives way to more intense and deep black and then turns back into fuchsia.
Fuchsia predominated the A / W 2022-23 collection
An optimistic pink that colors the eyes like a mask. Almost like cat’s eyes that draw wavy lines at the inner and outer corner of the eye and color the entire eyelid with the same intense and vibrant pink. Flash of color, literally, between a lot of nude looks.
The minimal charm of the wet look
Focus on the wet look instead for the hair. Gone are the days when it was thought that wet hair was relegated only to holidays, Valentino’s hair is minimal, with a central lineat times architectural thanks to abundant coats of gel and lacquers, the ballerina chignons are very precise and very severe, adherent to the head and alternated with a tomboyish look. Volume is canceled out for a truly super sleek effect and that makes all the attention fall on the collection and make-up.

Fuchsia aside, attention was also drawn by Zendaya which, already testimonial of the maison for the summer print campaign, is also suitable for the Valentino Pink PP Collection with an ordinance fuchsia suit and a new, very neat haircut. Abandoned its very long hair, the young actress star of Euphoria she chose a brown long bob with very light golden reflections that she wears very smooth and with a downward crease.
While on the catwalk he parades Mariacarla Boscono, now a friend of the Valentino family for years. For her the classic nude look and a long, slightly wavy wet look. Like hair that has just come out of the sea.
