Even before the release of Valentino Black Tie Fall/Winter 2023-24 Collection, the theme "Black Tie" had already been revealed on the brand's social media channels. Pierpaolo Piccioli evidently showed no interest in conventional formalwear this season — elegance has been repeated too many times, and he decided to embark on a bold divergence in formal attire. Piccioli's design approach is cohesive and traceable this season. Adding some informal elements to the traditional formalwear, such as cropped white shirts, cut-out sweaters, and transparent lace blouses, all prove to you that this is not just an outfit for evening events—it also allows you to switch identities at any time and dive into the lively crowds of underground clubs.
