Milan, 17 June 2024 – Big surprise today on the last day of Milan Fashion Week for summer 2025 men’s fashion, while Giorgio Armani, Gucci and Zegna, three giants of Made in Italy, take to the catwalk. In fact, the images of the ether arrive Valentino Cruise 2025 for her and for him which will be in stores next October and which the creative director Alessandro Michele he wanted to reveal to a handful of elected representatives via Zoom and then reported on the WWD website, the international fashion newspaper. Without forgetting the social aspect with two shots shared on her profile to the delight of followers and fashion addicts.
Michele will show in Paris his first ready-to-wear at the end of September and until now no style preview was expected. But no, here we are all taken aback by this real coup that has thrown the world of international fashion into turmoil. “My whole team with me worked with so much love on this Cruise 2025 without looking at the clock. For this reason it seemed against nature not to show it and keep it segregated until the sale in October”, said Alessandro Michele who arrived at Valentino two months ago, called by the Mayhoola fund which holds 70% of the brand with the magical Roman atelier in Piazza Mignanelli, which last July he sold 30 percent to Kering chief François Henri Pinault. Alessandro Michele’s stylistic alphabet remains intact and imaginative even at Valentino (after his creative prodigies for many years at Gucci) as can be seen in the 170 releases of the Valentino Cruise 2025 with many archive references to the seventies and eighties of the founder Valentino Garavani among echoes of ruffles, ruffles, animalier, tweed, stripes and polka dots, all reinterpreted by Michele’s effervescent luxury and his immense creativity.
