What happens when fashion slips into the bathroom? Valentino answers with Le Méta Théâtre Des Intimités, the fall-winter 2025 campaign staged inside a glowing red restroom. Creative director Alessandro Michele turns the intimate into the theatrical, showing how clothing becomes a second skin. Lensed by Glen Luchford, it’s fragile, bold, and political all at once.
Valentino Fall/Winter 2025 Campaign
The campaign is led by singer Clairo, who wears a delicate lace number and carries the new Panthea shoulder bag. It’s a Valentino piece with a gold chain and sculpted leather. Around her, characters drift through tiled corridors and mirrored sinks, their looks caught between elegance and edge.
There are leopard coats trimmed with faux fur, satin dresses over sheer lace, oversized jewels, and sculptural tailoring that spotlight silhouette. The bathroom becomes a stage, a liminal space where identity is performed and unmasked.
It’s uncanny, a little voyeuristic, yet impossibly chic. Each pose is a fragment of a larger story, capturing fashion as both desire and defiance. Valentino is inviting us into a shared theatre where intimacy collides with spectacle. This is a script written in red, lace, and motion.
