Tracksuits and Flip-Flops

Has there been a single knock against Valentino since Pierpaolo Piccioli became the solo creative director last year? I can’t think of one thing.

His gorgeously-monastic-yet-electrically-colored gowns have been held up as an example of a return to propriety on the red carpet. The shows have been consistently moving. Celebrities are practically pounding on the door to borrow those dresses. It’s all just so pretty and proper these days at Valentino.
