In a world where every step risks a stumble, every breath carries vulnerability, Valentino’s Pavillon Des Folies for Spring/Summer 2025 embraces fragility as the essence of existence. Life is ephemeral, and yet, it is precisely this fleeting nature that grants it meaning.
Drawing inspiration from Viktor Frankl’s philosophy, the collection explores the paradox of impermanence. What if beauty, rather than being a mere aesthetic indulgence, serves as an anchor, our remedy for life’s inherent uncertainty? Like flowers dazzling in vibrant hues to attract bees, beauty may seem purposeless, yet it plays a vital role in sustaining and enriching our world.
From the delicate embroidery of a gown to the soft whisper of organza, Valentino crafts garments that embody this philosophy. The collection is not just fashion; it is a poetic dialogue between form and feeling, between the transient and the eternal.
Beauty, as Théophile Gautier suggests, exists beyond necessity, yet it is essential. It is the force that lifts us from the mundane, an ephemeral spark that reveals hidden depths of meaning in our lives. In Pavillon Des Folies, Valentino reminds us that beauty is not an escape, it is a revelation.
