From the outset, the venue signaled its ambition. Guests were met with 200-page show notes, a near-encyclopedic prelude to the cerebral spectacle that followed. From the very first look&mdash;a multi-hued, crisscrossed dress that cascades from one texture to another, totaling up to 1,300 hours of meticulous handwork&mdash;the clothes left an indelible mark on the runway and every person in attendance.</p>
<p>Michele honoured <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/freen-sarocha-is-maison-valentino-s-first-thai-female-ambassador" title="Freen Sarocha is Maison Valentino's First Thai Female Ambassador" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Valentino</a>&rsquo;s heritage but dialed it to a fever pitch, draping history in layers of diaphanous fabric and intricate embellishments. As models glided down the runway, a digital panel streamed an eclectic mix of words: "graphism, harlequin grid squares, Mandarin fish, Vitruvius bustier, Middle Ages"&mdash;a glimpse into Michele&rsquo;s expansive web of references. The collection oscillates between eras, blending the elegance of Elizabethan ballgowns and Tudor silhouettes with a dreamier, more romantic sensibility. Michele&rsquo;s<span>&nbsp;</span>signature excess<span>&nbsp;</span>and maximalism was on full display in delicate lace, oversized bows, intricate embroidery, and a flourish of Rococo-inspired decadence conjured visions of Marie Antoinette&rsquo;s court. Among the opulence, patterns clashed and harmonized&mdash;polka dots, florals, and cascades of ruffles, each unmistakably Michele.</p>

<p>The finale erupted in a storm of strobe lights&mdash;Michele&rsquo;s vision of order dissolving into disorder. At the heart of "Vertigineux" was his fascination with lists, inspired by Umberto Eco&rsquo;s<span>&nbsp;</span><em>The Infinity of Lists.</em><span>&nbsp;</span>&ldquo;The list does not destroy culture, it creates it,&rdquo; a quote from Eco opening show<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.valentino.com/en-us/collections/valentino-vertigineux-haute-couture-2025-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notes</a><span>&nbsp;</span>says. Michele wrote that the collection aimed to make it feel "as if every dress evoked, through association, a plurality of interconnected worlds." Indeed, his couture creations were constellations of history, cinema, botany, and literature&mdash;stitched together into something wholly new.</p>
