Valentino Virgin Wool Ruched Jacket

For the House’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Valentino creative director Alessandro Michele ponders on Italian poet Pier Paolo Pasolini’s war letters to his friend, ascribing fireflies to gleams of hope during difficult times. Bold colour was interpreted as offering solace, so it’s only natural that the azure-blue hue of this ruched jacket set the tone for the runway presentation.
