The poetics of long summer days turn vivid as Valentino shares a garden shoot pulsing with 60s charm and love.
Valentino releases its Fall 2025 campaign just ahead of Chinese Valentine’s Day on August 29, pulling a note of romance into the season’s closing weeks.
Creative director Alessandro Michele and photographer Julie Greve stage the story in a lush garden painted by late afternoon sun. The poetics of long summer days is made all the more visible in every shot, trading studio polish for fresh grass underfoot.
Actor Ren Min partners with model Zixiao Zhao, their relaxed poses and sidelong glances lending the clothes a lived‑in ease rather than runway formality.
The collection leans into 60s‑era references: think relaxed tailoring, bold surface work, and textures that read artisanal rather than nostalgic.
Accessories anchor the narrative. Valentino Garavani Nellcôte and Viva Superstar bags return in mirror‑flecked suede, bold jacquards, and bright beadwork that refresh familiar outlines while keeping their clean geometry intact.
Two petite totes arrive in grained calf and suede stitched with playful Cherryfic motifs, joined by a crossbody camera case, a belt bag, and a compact duffle. Color updates range from a graphic red‑black pairing to creamy Optical Butter White, ready for late‑summer parties and early‑fall commutes.
The full lineup is already available on Valentino.com for anyone looking to carry a trace of long‑day romance into autumn.
