Each piece is imagined as a continuation of the Maison Valentino\u2019s universe, referencing key motifs such as the Valentino Garavani Vain bag, the archival use of stripes, and the Maison\u2019s signature shade of iconic red.<\/p>\n<p>At the centre of the campaign is the Valentino \u201cVlogo\u201d\u2014whether cut directly into acetate temples or embedded beneath lacquer, it becomes a structural and symbolic element that links each frame to the Maison\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>The classic Maison Valentino\u2019s inspirations come through as contemporary shapes, with bold cat-eyes, squared overize shapes or geometric flats. Colour plays a central role, with a palette that ranges from butter white and solid black to havanas, ivory stripes, and the iconic red.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a campaign anchored in contrast\u2014between couture and everyday wear, structure and ornament, history and reinvention. With this campaign, Valentino Eyewear opens a new space for expression within the Maison: precise, cultured, and unmistakably bold.<\/p>\n<p><a
