If the last 14 years at
Valentino have taught us anything, it's that Pierpaolo Piccioli has a thing for capes. Continuing his love affair well into SS23, the Creative Director imagines this dress. Realised from airy silk crepe, its profile showcases the designer's skillsmanship with its dainty pleated demeanour from head to its ankle-grazing hem. And as a final dramatic flourish? It's laced with sweeping sleeves, nodding to the style maven's penchants.
