VALENTINO - INTERFERENZE

 Il ritorno trionfale di Valentino a Roma si è compiuto il 12 marzo 2026 all'interno della sontuosa cornice barocca di Palazzo Barberini. La sfilata, intitolata "Interferenze", ha segnato un momento storico per la maison, sancendo un poetico ritorno a casa orchestrato dal Direttore Creativo Alessandro Michele, a pochi mesi dalla scomparsa dello storico fondatore Valentino Garavani avvenuta a gennaio. Rompendo eccezionalmente con il classico calendario della Paris Fashion Week, la collezione Autunno/Inverno 2026-2027 ha trasformato la Capitale nell'ombelico del mondo della moda internazionale.

L'evento si è svolto in un'atmosfera quasi cinematografica, amplificata da una fitta e suggestiva pioggia battente che ha avvolto la città. All'interno dei saloni affrescati di Palazzo Barberini, i pavimenti sono stati ricoperti da un manto di erba sintetica e piccole foglie, creando un contrasto metafisico tra natura e sfarzo architettonico.

Lo show ha valicato i confini fisici del palazzo grazie a un massiccio progetto di live streaming urbano curato da Urban Vision Group, che ha trasmesso la sfilata in diretta su dieci maxischermi posizionati nelle piazze principali di Roma, Milano e Napoli.

La sfilata ha portato in passerella ben 84 look che fondono l'opulenza classica di Valentino con l'estetica massimalista e stratificata di Alessandro Michele:

• Forze contrapposte: Dialogo costante tra spalle scultoree dal sapore anni Ottanta e la fluidità di taffetà e pizzi pregiati.
• Materiali opulenti: Ampio uso di velluti densi, broccati preziosi, pellicce e sete leggerissime.
• Nostalgia anni '90: Jeans skinny abbinati a camicie di seta lasciate aperte sul davanti, in un richiamo all'archivio storico del brand.
• Tavolozza cromatica: Accanto ai toni del mostarda, del menta e ai colori gioiello, lo show si è chiuso con un monumentale abito interamente rosso, un commovente tributo al leggendario "Rosso Valentino".

 In the second room I entered was exposed Gulnoza Dilnoza's collection.
Guilnoza Dilnoza  is the names of a new brand by two identical twins: Gulnoza and Dilnoza Ochilova. Born in Uzbekistan, following a degree in jurisprudence, they came to Milan to attend a Master’s Degree course in marketing at the European School of Economics, with specialization in Luxury Goods Management. They fell in love with the regional capital of Lombardy, seduced by its central role in the international fashion industry. So they decided to stay on in Milano to complete their training in the luxury goods industry by passing from theory to practice through internships in showrooms of international fashion houses. This working experience confirmed and reinforced their enthusiasm for fashion and apparel to such an extent that, despite their studies in economics and law, they discovered a creative talent for design, moved by a desire/need to express their own fashion concepts. Hence the formation of GULNOZA DILNOZA Milano, a debut collection, condensed into 20 garments of sophisticated, classic-sexy design: a new bon-ton. The collection is entirely made in Italy.
