There are few artists in recent history who evoke a more powerful portrait of a lady than Frida Kahlo.
Having referenced the work of several strong female characters in their time at Valentino, it’s no surprise that designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli edged the Mexican icon into the frame for resort wear. A stroke of genius on canvas jackets and A-line midi skirts are sprinkled with appliqué butterflies and sensible sandals that come with a handpainted Perspex midi heel.
Even the more whimsical pieces, like floral guipure lace dresses, are grounded with a casual sense of ease, layered over crisp white button-downs and worn with chunky white sneakers. Its functional pieces touched with a sense of fantasy provides a very pretty picture indeed.
