Valentino ups the ante for Resort 2015! While Fall/Winter 14 offered an assortment of tricoloured colour-blocked Rockstud bags and shoes, the Maison reaches for the Rainbow this Cruise, whether it’s Stripes, Chevron, or even Camouflage!

The Chevron family is actually a re-edition of a print from the archives from back in 1973. And once we know that the 70s were used as the context behind the design inspiration, we can understand the kaleidoscopic colours. After all, the 70s was a time where bell-bottoms abound and disco music was rife (read: Saturday Night Fever, The Bee Gees, ABBA).

And now, the Camouflage Psychedelic Collection, which exudes a slightly tougher, yet still feminine vibe (well, except the backpacks of course, which have come back in a BIG way, all thanks to MCM, which can work for both men and women)

All in all, a rather hippy trippy collection, wouldn’t you say? Or, to quote Austin Powers, it’s “Shagadelic!”
