Dear Shaded Viewers,
Under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele, Maison Valentino pulls back the velvet curtain on a luminous new chapter. To herald the Chinese New Year beginning February 17, the house unveils a campaign that gallops gracefully into the Year of the Horse — a symbol of freedom, energy, and rebirth.
Captured through the ethereal lens of Julie Greve and brought to life by the cinematic vision of Marcus Tang, the imagery unfolds like a modern fable. Against a dreamlike backdrop of light and shadow, Lareina Song — actress, muse, and Valentino Brand Ambassador — shares the frame with model Yi Fan, their gestures threaded together by a quiet poetry of togetherness.
Draped in silhouettes from the Valentino Cruise 2026 Collection, their presence evokes a dialogue between tradition and transformation. Every movement carries the rhythm of awakening — a whisper of dreams, an offering of solidarity, and the dawning of another luminous horizon in the world of Valentino.
Later,
Diane
