For the 2026 Valentino Cruise campaign video, the brand opts for visuals that are classic and subtle. Directed by Renell Medrano, the black and white vid features star-studded appearances by Dev Hynes, Dakota Johnson, Anne Imhof, Devon Teuscher, Marisa Berenson, and Tate McRae.
A month ago Italian brand Valentino enlisted Vanessa Beecroft to present their latest collection at the New York Academy of Art. With the models all similarly dressed in tan trench coats, they all stand or sit in similar formation like a group of soldiers. Similarities can be drawn between this showcase and Kanye West's 'Yeezy Season' show in terms of aesthetics. Considering that Vanessa Beecroft also had her hand with West's presentation as well, it totally makes sense. You can watch the fashion video below.
