excerpt: Valentino. Fall/Winter 2026, 2027 - Milan (Paris Fashion Week)
...And Alessandro Michele would have to be that quintessential fashion designer, who was able to wedge his own definition of uniqueness within the corporatized fashion world, despite being asked to leave Gucci in 2025, he has since reinvigorated his eccentricity with Valentino. Decreeing that his 2nd runway show for the iconic Italian fashion house, held in Rome, was indeed a glitch, or "interference" as Michele explained, by adding a "crooked" look to Valentino, which would have been, as noted, an aberration to the late Valentino Garavani. Even more aversive was Michele's extreme 1980s shoulder pads seen on some of the avant-garde esque 80s jackets, blouses and one piece dresses, to which Garavani, yes, would have been equally appalled. Is this Michele's way of clearing out the spirit of Valentino Garavani?...
