Giambattista Valli to launch new womenswear line

Nearly a decade after his first runway show in Paris, Giambattista Valli has announced the first details of a second line set to offer a fresh perspective on the designer’s vision for womenswear. 

Over the last ten years the Italian’s main line has developed accessories and fur options, as well as the 2011 birth of the label’s haute couture offering. Inspired by the nickname given to the designer by his friend, the new collection will provide a new “Valli Girls” twist to the aesthetic. Remaining true to the “ageless, effortless and timeless” spirit of the main Giambattista Valli Paris collections, the new line will allow Valli to express another side of his personality.  

Giamba will debut with the Spring-Summer 2015 collection in September during Milan’s pret-à-porter womenswear fashion week . From then on there will be two shows and two pre-collections a year with around 500 sales points around the world stocking the lines. Alongside his own collections, Valli also produces the Gamme Rouge line for luxe-sportswear label Moncler.
