With their dainty shape and small pyramidal studs, the new Valentino Garavani Rockstud accessories that are something a little edgier than ruffles, but without the loss of delectable charm, have been given the spotlight under all-new unforgettable slogan ‘I Mean... It’s Rockstud!’ for Fall 2023 campaign.
According to Valentino, this statement is nothing but an avowal of love and justification of why you should go for these iconic pieces, and rightly so – since 2009 these Rockstud accessories by Pierpaolo Piccioli have been instantly recognised by every fashion connoisseur. It’s the two tone Rockstud line that takes the way and these have been maison’s most fortuitous accessories to say the least.
The stud has adorned staple Valentino Garavani accessories ever since it was introduced. Inspired by metallic details seen on Roman Palazzo, the pyramid-shaped motif has seen countless reinventions over the years, yet remains a symbol of the Maison’s powerful codes.
The now iconic, studded shoe needs no introduction and has come in every shape imaginable: flats, sandals, towering stilettos and kitten heels, there was something for everyone, or ... everything for someone, quite literally there have been Rockstud addicts.
The Rockstud continues the narrative, making its subversive statement atop two footwear silhouettes along with a must-have bag. Kicking off the category, the Maison reissues its covetable Valentino Garavani Rockstud pumps.
Bigger and bolder, this season’s rendition is designed in shiny patent leather with tone-on-tone studs along the signature straps. With its suggestive silhouette, mix of hardedged materials and point-toe finish, the pumps boldly express personal power and confidence.
Savvily banking on yet more fool-proof classics and entry level accessories Whether you have a twin, a kindred spirit, an alter ego, or none of the above, or well – you’re just a combination of all, Valentino’s sharp take on edgy elegance is made to suit any mood that strikes, day or night.
Keeping with its penchant for mixing the classic with the bold, the Rockstud also stars atop a selection of ballet flats. The longtime feminine silhouette gets a dose of deviance with studded details placed along the upper. Mixing a radical spirit with bourgeois elegance, the Valentino Garavani Rockstud ballerinas are a balancing act bringing refined design in conversation with bold colors and materials.
A roundup of Rockstuds wouldn’t be complete without a season-specific purse. For Urban Riviera Fall 2023 collection, the Maison presents the new Valentino Garavani Rockstud23 bag, offered in two distinct sizes. The classically structured design and bold lines ground its more proactive elements, like bold logo placements, golden Rockstuds and twist-lock hardware.
Hollywood loves an It bag. Celebrities are usually the first to spot—or receive—the latest releases, and thanks to the numerous purses, pouches, and fanny packs launched each year, stars are spoiled for choice. Still, there’s always one item that attains cult status amongst performers, models, and musicians. But this season, this piece will definitely take on the sultry mainstay that’s equally at home at a Hollywood party or an underground rave at Upper East Side. Playfully punk but a sophisticated vibe is what you’ll be spotting on Instagram this season! Bisou Bisou!
