Giambattista Valli’s Resort 2025 collection features a stunning lineup of romantic, delicate hues and plush textures, designed to “caress the soul of the person that’s going to be into [my clothes].” The designer’s palette is a dreamy blend of sherbet shades, from soft pinks and pistachio greens to the vibrant marigold. These soothing tones are complemented by a luxurious array of fabrics, including plush knits, swathes of chiffon, and bouncy macramé. Giambattista Valli envisions his Resort 2025 muse as a true cultural magpie – a woman who knows her own mind and is always ready to embark on new adventures. Her wardrobe is a reflection of her eclectic tastes, with prints and patterns that take inspiration from an idealized Silk Road, weaving together the influences of Italy, India, and the myriad gardens in between.
While Valli’s designs exude a sense of ethereal lightness, the collection is grounded in a pragmatic approach to resort wear. Classic staples such as saharienne-style blazers, wide-leg denim, and the brand’s signature dresses are seamlessly integrated, catering to the needs of a modern woman. One of the standout pieces in the Resort 2025 lineup is Valli’s interpretation of the iconic Breton top. With light pink stripes on a bouclé fabric, the designer has reimagined the classic style, using it as the foundation for a range of versatile pieces – from brassiere tops and matching cardigans to a long tunic that can double as a minidress.
Despite the collection’s seemingly simple silhouettes, Valli is a master of sartorial details, particularly when it comes to textiles. This season, he has incorporated fine-gauge mercerized knits, floral cloqué jacquards, and even a crocodile-effect lacquered fabric, adding depth and richness to the pieces. Complementing the clothing, Giambattista Valli‘s Resort 2025 lineup also features a selection of accessories that amplify the warm-weather aesthetic. Flat sandals with brightly colored chains, as well as woven baskets in straw or hand-laced leather, complete the effortless, yet elevated, look.
