“Valentino” Goes To Hell

The new Fall-Winter 25/26 Valentino campaign “Le Méta Théâtre Des Intimités" takes a disturbing turn for the luxury fashion brand, with a depiction of  a ‘new hell’, where everything is washed in blood and impressions are made by lost souls squatting in public toilets:

Clemente Ludovico Garavani aka ‘Valentino’, is an Italian fashion designer, the founder of the “Valentino” brand and company. His main lines include ‘Valentino’, ‘Valentino Garavani’, ‘Valentino Roma’ and ‘R.E.D. Valentino’.

In 1998 Valentino and his partner Giancarlo Giammetti sold the company for approximately US$300 million to “HdP”, an Italian conglomerate controlled, in part, by the late Gianni Agnelli, the head of Fiat.

 In 2002, Valentino S.p.A., with revenues of more than $180 million, was sold by HdP to “Marzotto Apparel’, a Milan-based textile giant, for $210 million. 

Maison Valentino is controlled since 2012 by ‘Mayhoola for Investments S.P.C.’…

….a holding company sustained by a group of private investors from Qatar.

 It is present in over 90 countries through 160 Valentino directly operated boutiques and over 1300 points of sale.
