Valentina Poltronieri
An online premiere of this season’s collection from Valentina Poltronieri, an up-and-coming star designer from Italy’s Veneto region.
The Fall / Winter 2023 VP collection starts from the return to the journey, no longer imaginary, as in the collections conceived during the isolation of the last two years, but this time concrete and sensorial. The leading city of this double exploration journey is Prague. Prague is called “the Capital of Magic” because there are many connections that we find between the earthly world and the divine world in the evocative historical moments, says Valentina.
In addition to the rich and evocative cultural and architectural stratification of the city, Valentina Poltronieri has extrapolated a particularly fascinating and bewitching theme and aspect: esotericism, the astrologer and the astronomer.
