A new chapter written solely by Piccioli opened at Valentino with its Spring 2017 collection, and it read just beautifully. He aced it, not only meeting expectations but surpassing them too. If Piccioli can keep on developing that rich-looking but practical daywear, then Valentino will likely be adding a whole new constituency of customers to the ones who come to the house looking for dream dresses.

When you say pink is the new punk. #ValentinoStreetStyle at its finest with @thefashionguitar @lindatol_ @belmodotiany and @eleonoracarisi in #SpringSummer17 and #Fall2017 looks at the #FallWinter1718 fashion show in #Paris. Photo by @jo_on_na.
