US EditionLily Allen Is Taking Her Valentino Bell on Tour
- Earlier this month, Valentino debuted its spring 2026 couture collection at the Tennis Club de Paris, the house's first couture show since founder Valentino Garavani died on January 19, opening under a somber shadow before shifting into a theatrical spectacle.
- Creative director Alessandro Michele opened the show with voiceover excerpts from Matt Tyrnauer's documentary and framed the collection titled Specula Mundi as an homage and a reset of Valentino Garavani's couture codes.
- Inside the Tennis Club de Paris, guests sat on stools around circular pods modeled on a Kaiserpanorama and peered through small windows as models appeared like mannequins behind glass, while a soundscape shifted from classical music to barking.
- VIPs and celebrities filled the room, including Dakota Johnson, Kirsten Dunst, Tyla, and Sir Elton John, while Suzy Menkes called the moment immediate and an end of an era, with Giancarlo Giammetti and Vernon Bruce Hoeksema attending.
- By marrying a Kaiserpanorama-style set with live streaming, Michele merged a carousel of viewing slots with smartphone streaming, extending each vignette to a wider audience and influencing future couture staging and visibility.
