Giambattista Valli’s ‘Love Collection 3’ Bridal Runway Show

Maison Giambattista Valli celebrated the exclusive runway debut of its bridal collection at the Bridal Night, a gala event during Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week.

Organized by Fira de Barcelona with the support of the Catalan Ministry of Business and Labor, this premier fashion show captivated more than 450 guests with a unique presentation in the historic Llotja de Mar building.

In an extraordinary show, Giambattista Valli’s 30 creations shone with their own light. It was a culmination of silhouettes, representing a comprehensive exhibition of Mr. Valli’s concept of contemporary bridal dressing, inviting his audience to witness the manifestation of his vision, translated into a presentation that embodies the essence of individuality, sharing a dream and a celebration and love.

The fashion show featured ten dresses from the third “Love Collection,” ten iconic silhouettes from the first and second “Love Collections” and ten Haute Couture creations, inspiring the magnificence and the savoir-faire of the Ateliers, stepping away from classic wedding rituals and focusing on the significance of the emotions of the “moment” and the joys of celebrations.

Infused with the Maison’s idyllic aesthetic and excellence, Valli’s dresses stood out with a contemporary edge, whether through clean lines, unforgettable volumes or unexpected details inspired by the personalities of an imaginary new group – Mr. Valli’s friends. This blend of classic and modern appeals to many brides worldwide looking for a unique wedding gown, in pure Valli style and tied to their own personal storytelling.

The prestigious designer was delighted after the show and said that, “I chose Barcelona and Bridal Fashion Week for the debut of my Love Collection 3 because it is an event that attracts a diverse audience of fashion enthusiasts, designers, buyers and media from all over the world, and provides me with maximum global visibility and opportunities for success.” He added, “In addition, Barcelona’s romantic and cosmopolitan atmosphere matches perfectly with the theme of my collection, which celebrates love and romance.”

The Barcelona Bridal Night had a luxurious audience and front row, including it-girl, model and international fashion icon Olivia Palermo, model and countess Lara Cosima Henckel von Donnersmarck, stylist and designer Pelayo Diaz, actress Hiba Abouk, actress and model Blanca Romero, model Marco Llorente, and TV hostess and actress Marta Torné, among other personalities.

Giambattista Valli Paris captures the essence of two iconic cities, seamlessly blending the magnificent eclectic and relaxed charm of the Roman “Città Eterna” with the contrasting free spirit and introspective nature of the Parisian “Ville Lumière”. This duality forms the unique DNA of Giambattista Valli Paris, characterized by tension and electrifying contrasts.

It merges the spontaneous and the sophisticated. It is effortlessly extraordinary and rooted in the present. It does not strive for forced modernity, but rather for a balance of culture from the past and a vision of the future full of nuances.

It reflects in the multitude of inspirations, through unique signature designs and fabrics, such as flower prints, bows, tulle, macramé and embroideries.

Timeless and ageless are more than just words to Giambattista Valli: they are the guiding philosophy of the Maison. Giambattista Valli believes that style is a mental stance, transcending age and physical boundaries, suspended somewhere between the past and the present.
