Valentino creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli continued their fascination with graphics for their fall-winter 2015 menswear collection. Inspired by the dance company Ballets Russes and their frequent collaborations with various artists, Chiuri and Piccioli looked to Australian painter Esther Stewart for the collection’s geometric appeal. Combining Valentino’s long tailored history with a modern art movement, sharp coats, jackets and suits joined knitwear and lean, pleated trousers with scaled geometric prints dressing separates. Camouflage also continued to be a Valentino trademark, featuring outerwear, knitwear and bags, accented by fine leather pieces.
