On his backstage wall, Giambattista Valli had pinned a photo taken by Henri Cartier-Bresson in 1968 of a young woman sitting outside Brasserie Lipp, wearing a skimpy white shirt dress. Next to her was an older woman in a classic 1940s silhouette sending her a stern look of disapproval.

“In France, women have a feminist attitude in a very modern way”, Valli explained. “They are very complex, they assert themselves, and they don’t care about any critique. They just want to be themselves. I really love that about French women, because I learn from them”.
Held at Musee d’Art Moderne in Paris, the Fall/Winter 2022 collection celebrated feminist attitude, and self-expression, while exploring duality that exist between generations.
