Pierpaolo Piccioli takes inspiration from Marlene Dumas' paintings that depicts abolishing excess through washed out black ink in a very goth collection.
Intended to portray differences from commonality, there's a theme of unifomity throughout. The looks include menswear tailoring, black leather, and the color grey, with accessories softening the look somewhat. Traditionally couture elements from Valentino Garavani Atelier, such as flowers, bows, and studs, serve to tie in the brand's signs.
