Valentino

The designer met a small group of journalists - all duly tested and socially distanced - after the show, which was livestreamed from the Piccolo Teatro di Milano on Monday, the day Milan and the Lombardy region returned to more severe restrictions, entering the so-called orange zone - just a step below the red zone - given a pickup in coronavirus infections. [...]the designer wanted to convey a message of freedom and hope, saying that opening up a theater after so many months of lockdown was "a bold, almost punk sign," being able to "share the emotions of a show when the communal activities are denied." [...]the designer dislikes storytelling in fashion, believing in some cases it has become sort of a trick.
