Dear Shaded Viewers,
In an era where fashion constantly seeks relevance, Valette Studio stands resolute in embracing a couture identity devoid of nostalgia, tailored to contemporary tastes and desires. The latest collection disrupts the established house signatures, introducing new volumes reminiscent of the latter half of the 1950s—a period synonymous with the golden age of French haute couture.
The once-exclusive Parisian charm of the houndstooth motif now resonates with street credibility, transcending gender boundaries in a unified wardrobe. This season, Valette Studio rejects traditional gendered proposals, crafting essentials designed to allure both sexes. Fabrics such as silk, virgin wool, organza, and technical jersey exude an evening sophistication, seamlessly modernized with the inclusion of faux fur.
The color palette orchestrates a symphony of contrasts, punctuating black and white tones with the soft notes of powdered pink, salmon, and burgundy. All-over embroidered leather, faux fur, and garments adorned with pearl and chain sleeves exemplify the brand’s commitment to the contemporary savoir-faire, emphasizing the enduring relevance of traditional craftsmanship.
