Valentino Haute Couture Show Inspiration | Fashion Films | Refinery29

Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, the designers behind Valentino, have always been into animal motifs for the brand, whether it’s butterflies or unicorns or octopuses. But at their most recent haute couture collection, presented in the duo's hometown of Rome, they unveiled probably the most meaningful icon yet: A depiction of a black eagle, recently discovered in the ceilings of Valentino's atelier, was represented in the opening look of its 2015 show. It also dotted the invitations and, as we show in this video made in collaboration with Visionaire, is hugely symbolic of Valentino’s past, present, and future.
