The distinction was presented by Madame la Ministre Rachida Dati, in the presence of close friends and leading cultural figures, with a heartfelt tribute paid by Suzy Menkes.
In celebration of this honour, the Maison chose to replace its traditional runway show with a more personal and immersive presentation. Hosted in the Salons Haute Couture, this exclusive unveiling of the Haute Couture N°29 collection offered guests a rare glimpse into the soul of the Maison - its savoir-faire, elegance, and creative spirit.
Giambattista Valli, the visionary behind the House, personally welcomed guests and the exceptional women who inspire his work, sharing his latest creations that reflect the timeless codes and refined artistry of the Maison.
Giambattista Valli’s Haute Couture N°29 evokes a dreamlike garden of muses, where softness and romance reign. Silhouettes breathe with volume conjured purely through fabric, absent of structure, shaped by hand and instinct. The collection nods to 18th-century elegance and 1950s couture, blending historical references with modern irreverence. Details like floral embroideries and airy draping create a delicate balance of lightness and complexity. It’s a quiet celebration of beauty - a living painting in motion.
