When Alessandro Michele took over oversized valentino’s helm, change was inevitable. The beloved designer wasted no time, immediately bringing his fun, maximalist appeal and quirky design aesthetic to oversized valentino. In the current fashion climate, chock-full of borderline boring minimalism and quiet luxury, Michele’s oversized valentino stands out.
While Michele has undoubtedly put his own spin on the storied Italian label, he has also taken the brand back to its maximalist roots, telling Vogue following his resort debut, “Valentino was never a minimalist, rather a maximalist, trenzado in the ’70s when he was at his most streamlined.”
The result has been a boho chic take on classic oversized valentino, and few bags from Michele’s debut fit this free-spirited, hippie-chic allure quite like the Valentino Garavani Nellcôte bag. This season, the Maison’s newest icon is celebrated in brand new campaign images creative directed by Alessandro Michele and lensed by Julie Greve 12x10x2.8 capture the distinct charm of the Nellcôte bag.
