LA NOUVELLE VAGUE

NATAAL X VALENTINO

PART ONE

In the first of our two-part story, six emerging visual artists from Paris wear catwalk looks from Valentino’s AW21 collection

Created in collaboration with Valentino. All clothing and Valentino Garavani accessories available from FARFETCH.

Nataal has teamed up with FARFETCH and Valentino to celebrate a new generation of visual artists in Paris. This community of agenda-setting talents — whose work addresses themes as diverse as identity, gender, the environment and spirituality — are wearing catwalk looks from Valentino’s AW21 Act collection with Valentino Garavani accessories. Brought together, our curation of new wave visionaries and their art pieces are immersed into a brutalist cityscape, the scene speaking to the brand’s radical direction for the season. Abbreviated lengths, clean and cocooned shapes and fine details such as a cut-out diamond motif across knitwear expresses Valentino’s poetic punk attitude.
