Valentino’s spring/summer 2020 show opened with twelve variations on the classic white shirt, followed by a burst of flounce and feathers in vivid fluorescent hues.
Colour was placed at the centre of the collection which fused ready-to-wear with the essence of couture.
Statement sleeves, tropical prints and airy silhouettes full of fluidity, were paired with standout accessories such as the Valentino Garavani Rockstud Spike bag.
Designed by Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli in 2017, the iconic bag was given a colourful revamp for SS20; in a fluo palette of electric yellow, fuchsia pink, tangy orange, lime green and bright blue.
Made from quilted leather, the handbag is decorated with metallic studs and can be worn across the body, on the shoulder or carried like an artisanal clutch. The new head-turning tones come in varied sizes – from micro forms, perfect for party season to practical profiles designed for everyday ease.
For the first time ever, Valentino will place the new style of bag on sale following its runway debut in Paris. The iconic bag in neon notes, will be available for a limited time only as a part of the maison’s ‘see now, buy now’ concept.
Whether you elevate your ensemble with a slither of highlighter hues or you opt for head-to-toe luminous shades, the Rockstud Spike Fluo bag injects summer vigor into the winter season – ideal if you live in warmer climes.
The Valentino Garavani Rockstud Spike Fluo bag is available from September 30 in selected boutiques around the world and on Valentino.com
