The color pink is often synonymous with femininity. The pastel hue depicts love, romance, kindness or the act of nurturing. But with its ubiquitous assigned use in representing women, has the feminine shade lost its power? Valentino dares to differ. The luxury Italian fashion maison has envisioned a rebellious pink renaissance to champion the modern woman’s confidence and creativity.
This fall, Maison Valentino released the Pink PP Collection, an experimental monochromatic journey conceived by Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli featuring a custom hue developed in collaboration with Pantone. From designer bags and patent leather pumps to a peacoat and couture dresses, the line puts the eye-catching Pink PP shade at center stage this season as Valentino emboldens women to feel individualistic rather than traditional.
A vibrant fuchsia color may be intimidating for those with a more minimalist sensibility, but take heart. The simplest way to incorporate this highlighter hue into your fall wardrobe is through a single bag. Here are our top three Pink PP designer bags for women from the Fall/Winter 2022-23 Valentino Garavani line sure to command attention in every room.
