Silk Bow Tie

With eclecticism at the core of his practice, Alessandro Michele is renowned for his playful, maximalist takes on classic pieces. Now at the helm of Valentino Garavani, the designer makes his vision clear with the Avant les Débuts Resort 2025 collection, which draws inspiration from the late ‘60s and ‘70s. Here, the traditional bow tie is realised in oversized proportions, with its dropped look and elegant silk sheen adding intrigue to your formal attire.

Garavani is better known by his mononym, Valentino. From the signature Rockstud leather shoes to richly embellished dresses, knitwear, tailoring and separates, Valentino Garavani pieces are characterised by a bold and playful use of colour and pattern, with a through line of glamour and luxury.
