Since its early conception in 1960, Valentino has been no stranger to releasing sartorial favourites that epitomise luxury fashion. From its iconic Rockstud line that exudes longevity and timeless elegance to the recent Un Château Bow mule that encapsulates a sense of femininity and glamour like no other, the maison constantly breathes fresh life into its traditional house codes, with some of the hottest accessories every season to show for it.
For its spring/summer 2024 collection, creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli looked to celebrate femininity through a focus on symbolism and its relationship with the human body. Showing at the storied Paris École des Beaux-Arts, the show boasted a meditative soundscape swiftly followed by an opening act by British pop-R&B sensation FKA Twigs. Models emerged in a sleuth of white looks, perhaps hinting at the idea of purity and sensuality. Sharp blazers and oversized shirting spoke to the modern women, refined and assertive in approach. In typical Piccioli fashion, the beauty was in the details, whether in the intricate dove cutouts on coats or the dazzling embellishments on sheer dresses.
The idea of a reimagined modern woman certainly trickled over to the accessories, with the introduction of the new it bags such as the Valentino Garavani VLogo Moon bag. Boasting a crescent-like silhouette and constructed out of supple stampa alce leather, this new it bag can be easily distinguished by its VLogo emblem and polished metal chain. The structure of the bag allows for it to be carried in several ways, from a slung shoulder bag for daily errands to a wrist clutch fit for date night. Its removable leather strap also allows for a crossbody option, deeming it a must-have accessory for its unparalleled versatility.
Painting a global picture of the brand—one that unifies unabashed personalities from both East and West—the latest L’École campaign sees brand ambassadors Kaia Gerber, Song Ye-Jin and Jolin Tsai come together in a celebration of womanhood and talent. Shot by renowned photographer duo Mert Alas and Marcus piggott, the VLogo Moon bag is a recurring star in the images, with its sensual curves a reminder of this season’s messaging and ethos.
The VLogo Moon bag is available in three sizes, with the mini and small being fun-sized options, while the maxi variation offers a capacious option fit for carrying to the office. Offered in classic black and ivory or delectable hues of cedar yellow, almond and cappuccino, there is bound to be an option for everyone.
