VALENTINO Fall 2020-21 show at Paris Fashion Week Men's

Maison VALENTINO has unveiled its FALL WINTER 2020-21 collection during Paris Fashion Week Men’s.

“Men are changing much more quickly in the last two decades because of women. And because of how work has changed.” noted the creative director of the brand, Pierpaolo Piccioli.

Guys these days should have no hang-ups about wearing coats and jackets stamped with photo prints or embroideries of flowers, Piccioli believes. Luxury for men and women is being dissolved into a median category. Valentino boys have segued seamlessly into carrying small cross-body bags. Some might be utility pouches, but others are indistinguishable from the mini-bags on chains that have been gendered as female for generations.
