VALETTE STUDIO

VALETTE STUDIO

Light, sporty, fun are just a few adjectives to convey the spirit of French designer Pierre François Valette’s latest Spring Summer 2023 collection. Built around whimsical 60s prints, gender fluid designs with a dash of rebellion, he revamps classic garments with high-end craftsmanship, a touch of romance and irony. This time, the designer, presented by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, the French body that coordinates Paris Fashion Week; underscores the potential for playfulness and personality with evolved psychedelic motifs, dynamic mariner culture stripes and poplin pants, while muscle tees and rope cross-cross vests tap into the hedonism conveyed by Valette’s latest muse, the American actor Joe Dalessandro, symbol of the American underground films of New York’s heyday.
