Pierpaolo Piccioli staged Valentino’s Pre-Fall 2017 show at the newly
refurbished Beekman hotel on Thursday, January 12.
The venue wasn’t happenstance.
Piccioli is embarking on a journey as the sole creative director of
Valentino, having worked side by side with Maria Grazia Chiuri at the
brand for 17 years.
In a preview, he called New York “the land of
opportunity, a place where dreams come true,” and Valentino promoted the
show on Instagram with evocative shots of the Statue of Liberty and the
Manhattan skyline.
On the soundtrack, Nina Simone sang, “It’s a new
dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life. . . and I’m feeling good,” for
anyone who didn’t get the message.
