Pierpaolo Piccioli was inspired by the body for his spring/summer 2024 Valentino collection. The show was a celebration of being comfortable in one’s own skin, where nakedness was presented as “a natural state, rather than a means of provocation,” explained the show notes. “Fashion is made to clothe the body, yet here it enters into a rapport – an essential exchange between the garment and the woman within.”

The models were accompanied by the multidisciplinary artist FKA Twigs, who appeared alongside a corps of dancers, “moving as one”. The mesmerising performance both explored and honoured bodies, the physicality, and the feminine.
