The artistic director explores the purity of blue and the meaning of being a man today.

Blue, a traditionally feminine color, only became an emblem of masculinity in the last century with its share of expectations and nuances. For his Valentino Men's Fall/Winter 2024 collection, Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli revisits and releases this color, echoing the evolution of society's perception of masculinity.
"The traditional propositions and requirements of the male wardrobe translate into a new identity. Softness, fluidity, delicacy, and grace &mdash; a strength found in vulnerability, changing our perception of the definition of masculinity in clothing, of its connotations of power and strength. In a world that has changed, men must change too,&rdquo; specifies the show notes.&nbsp;
The collection features sensitive silhouettes with softened cuts, embroidery, and ornaments that modify not only the garment but also their identities. The sculptural forms of Valentino's Altorilievo (high-relief) technique are used to open gaps in clothing.
