Pierpaolo Piccioli swerved the traditional runway setting this season, instead opting to showcase
Valentino’s Resort ’22 collection in Carré du Temple – a covered market in the 3rd arrondissement. His vision was bringing couture to the streets, something shown by these shorts. They’re cut to a wide, high-rise silhouette that’s deftly patterned with a metallic rendition of the tessellating V logo. Pull them on with the matching blouse for the full effect.
