Valentino

Feb 2026

Valentino’s S/S 2026 campaign leans into the architectural grandeur of historic European interiors, grounding the collection within a series of ornate, frescoed halls. Photographer and director Willy Vanderperre captures the garments through a focus on tactile textures and refined detailing, utilizing soft, natural light to create an atmospheric and editorial mood. Art direction by Christopher Simmonds reinforces this interplay between opulence and classical composition. The campaign features a diverse cast of models styled by Jonathan Kaye, highlighting a juxtaposition of structured tailoring, vibrant palettes, and intricate embellishments like floral appliques and metallic sequins. Set design by Victoria Salomoni complements the historic environment, while hair by Esther Langham and makeup by Yadim maintain a clean, polished finish throughout.
