VALENTINO

1. A pictorial symbol found on luxurious satins that often tells a tale through fabric, like in the case of Valentino Haute Couture Autumn/Winter ’18. 2. Embroidered or printed motifs reminiscent of a word or a phrase on garments. “Inspired by tales of “Leda and the Swan” and Europa And The Bull, characters from the Greek mythology are embroidered and presented through intarsia, like on a knotted silk taffeta dress and a sorbet-hued kaftan.”

A picture tells a thousand words: Pierpaolo Piccioli’s pictogram satins at Valentino Haute Couture Autumn/Winter ’18 depicted Greek mythologies
