You're reading that right: Valentino's upcoming autumn/winter 2022 collection is being referred to as 'Valentino Pink PP'. And before your mind goes, well, there, 'PP' of course refers to creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli.
The show invite given out by Valentino was an all-pink package containing a booklet by Canadian author and artist Douglas Coupland—you may recognise him as the originator of the term 'Generation X' in his 1991 novel. The Pink PP Seen by Douglas Coupland booklet contains a selection of 40 works featuring quotes (in pink, of course) such as "If you are afraid of being afraid you might as well be dead." and "Knowing everything turns out to be slightly boring.".
It's not known how these will translate into the autumn/winter 2022 collection. But if there's anything that we know for sure, the Valentino runway show will be one of the highlights of Paris Fashion Week.
