VALENTINO MEN'S SPRING/SUMMER 2013 | Men Collection 2013

'Maria Grazia Chiuri' and 'Pier Paolo Piccioli' will show their Couture collection for Valentino.Chiuri and Piccioli are just as interested in developing new techniques and building upon existing ones.
Valentino is very smart to get ahead of the crowd and be the first major brand to show SS13 at Pitti Uomo. I was surprised by how strong the collection was. The first collection was very good, and this collection strengthens the menswear voice that designers Maria and Pier are beginning to create.That innovation doesn't necessarily extend to the aesthetic. Their look tweaks tradition, but the clothes themselves remain staunchly wearable, and their message was edited almost to military strictness. There were several versions of a flat-front, tapered chino, some with a multi-fabric stripe that recalled track pants and tuxedos both. The duo's take on the Teddy jacket brought several materials into the mix mesh, cotton, nylon, and neoprene, but kept the shape recognizable.
I know it’s early, but I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that right now Valentino is the collection to beat.I’ll be looking forward to a strong challenge coming up from Bottega Veneta, Dries Van Noten, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, Prada.
