The connection between Pierpaolo Piccioli’s Red Valentino resort collection and the highly sporty main collection runway show he staged two weeks ago was obvious. He described Red as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream meets city ath-leisure,” with the athletic vibe intensified in Kelly green knits and bomber jackets paired back to delicate dotted tulle pants, track shorts and ruffled windbreaker blouses. The look was a more distilled, accessible version of what was presented in the main collection. Piccioli integrated the the hyper feminine for which the label is known and the sporty stuff, layering tulle dresses over two-piece bathing suits, but kept them separate, too.
