Staged in the baroque Palazzo Barberini in Rome, whose architecture equally symbolizes the discord that gave birth to the House’s new vision, Alessandro Michele takes us back to the late 80s for the Valentino Interferenze Fall 2026 RTW collection.

In this tension, running through stone and textile alike, the show Interferenze unveils the collision between code and deviation, lightness and gravity, rule and profusion, transparency and opacity, conformity and transgression. What emerges is a collection that celebrates order while simultaneously revealing its structural vulnerability, exposing it to the possibility of its own overcoming.

Before the collection is revealed on the runway, garments are refined and reviewed, while glimpses of Rome sit just beyond the Atelier windows.
