excerpt: Valentino. Pre Fall 2026 - Lookbook

 

"...Bless Michele, as 2025 comes to a close, and 2026 is most certainly looking darker and more dangerous than ever, for everybody.  We need escapism and rejuvenation, more importantly, mediation.  As the Fascists bombard us with an overload of information through the digital relays, turn off your phone and sit quietly.  Begin, moment by moment, and maybe day by day, you will not miss anything, and as Michele had said for his Pre-Fall 2026 array, "At this moment, it’s as though I’ve said to myself: all right, I want to undertake the exercise of looking at the void. Something I had never done before: to look at what I remove in order to see more clearly what remains, and what it can speak to" 

Absolutely."
